The Island
|July 03, 2025
Fisheries, Aquatic and Ocean Resources Minister Ramalingam Chandrasekar has ruled out the possibility of any consensus with India to allow its fishing fleet to poach in Sri Lankan waters.
-
He made this declaration in Colombo on Tuesday (01) at a hastily arranged media conference at his Ministry
Chandrasekar said the Indians fishing in Sri Lankan waters illegally would be apprehended and their boats confiscated. The Minister emphasised that under any circumstances there couldn't be a consensus on allowing Indian poaching.
India has been pushing for an arrangement under which its fishing fleet is given access to Sri Lankan waters without hindrance.
Declaring that the continuing large scale poaching had been inimical to Sri Lanka's interests, Minister Chandrasekar said that India had been informed of Sri Lanka's decision to arrest poachers.
