For the alleged violation of the International Maritime Boundary Line (IMBL), the Sri Lankan navy has confiscated hundreds of Indian fishing boats over recent years. Twelve among them -- confiscated during 2022 and 2023 -- were released by the SL court.

When the respective boat owners from Rameswaram visited Mailadi port in Sri Lanka, they found five boats to be damaged beyond repair and seven in salvageable condition.
