Sri Lanka Navy rescued six distressed Indian fishermen, who had drifted into Sri Lankan waters north of Talaimannar, with their defunct trawler.
The rescued Indian fishermen were provided humanitarian assistance and handed over to another Indian fishing trawler at the International Maritime Boundary Line (IMBL), the Navy said.
The Indian trawler (Reg No. IND/TN/10/MM/ 1032), drifting in island waters north of Talaimannar, was spotted by SLNS Ranajaya patrolling that sea area on Sunday morning (31 July).
Following a subsequent inspection, it was revealed that the Indian trawler had swept towards Sri Lankan waters as a result of a mechanical failure of its engine. Thus, the Navy promptly rescued the six distressed Indian fishermen aboard the defunct vessel and provided them with food, drink, and other necessary humanitarian assistance.
Further, SLNS Ranajaya escorted the distressed Indian fishing trawler and the six rescued Indian fishermen to the IMBL and handed them over to another Indian trawler, ensuring their safe return.
