The Hindu: Fisherman seriously hurt in firing by Lankan Navy

Rameswaram (PTI): A fisherman was seriously injured and his boat damaged when Sri Lankan naval personnel fired 'indiscriminately' at Indian boats fishing between between Talaimannar and Dhanushkodi on Saturday morning, official sources said.

The fishermen suffered serious bullet injures in his shoulder. Three others who went with him managed to escape by ducking in the boat. They later brought the man to shore and got him admitted to the Ramanathapauram government hospital.

Top officials, including the Fisheries Assistant Director Velpandi have been informed about the incident.
