Saturday, Feb 07: RAMANATHAPURAM: One more Sri Lankan fibreglass boat was found abandoned at a landing point near Rameswaram on Friday. Security agencies suspect that it could have come ashore in the early hours. Frequent arrival of Sri Lankan boats to the coast off Rameswaram and Dhanushkodi has raised concern among security agencies.
On January 24, a Sri Lankan national escaped from the island after landing in a fibreglass boat at Serankottai near Rameswaram. Within a day, another boat was found abandoned at the 5th islet near Dhanushkodi.
Though security agencies have collected some inputs about the arrival of a suspected Sri Lankan on January 24, he has not been arrested yet.
Four fishermen of Pamban alleged that they were beaten up by Sri Lankan Navy on Thursday and lodged a complaint with the Assistant Director of Fisheries, Rameswaram. (The Hindu)
