He said a fisherman of Karaikal region
was injured last month when Lankan Navy allegedly fired at a group of
fishermen. The injured fisherman was since undergoing treatment at a hospital in
Chennai. There should be initiatives on the part of the Central government and
Sri Lankan administration to invite representatives of the fishermen of Tamil
Nadu and Puducherry and Sri Lanka to find permanent solution.
