TN fishermen 'attacked' by Lankan Navy

Around 4,000 fishermen from this island had sailed in 614 boats last night and were fishing near International Maritime Boundary Line off Katchatheevu, an islet ceded to Sri Lanka by India in the 1970s, when a section of them came under attack, they said

Accusing the fishermen of having entered their territory, the Sri Lankan naval personnel pelted stones at them, forcing them to return to the shores, officials said adding they had also cut some fishing nets.
