COLOMBO: The Sri Lankan government has requested India to prevent its fishermen from illegally entering the country’s waters for fishing.
Minister of Transport, Highways, Ports and Civil Aviation Bimal Rathnayaka said the Indian action would be deeply appreciated by the people in northern Sri Lanka as fishing is the only livelihood for them.
His remarks came ahead of the likely visit by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Sri Lanka next month. PTI
