Two Indian boats sans passengers have arrived in the coastal village of Udappu in the North Western Province.
According to the Sri Lanka Navy (SLN), these boats were noticed by their officers at around 5.45 a.m. yesterday (17).
These boats were registered under the Indian authority, where they could carry around 10 people at once. The SLN confirmed that the boats had arrived empty, without any passengers. Further investigations are being carried out by Navy officials regarding the incident.
On 29 May, 40 people aboard four Indian fishing boats had allegedly attempted to enter the country’s waters, but were sent back to India by the Navy. In a press release, the Navy said that they were able to prevent the 40 individuals aboard four Indian fishing vessels from their attempt to enter Sri Lankan waters.
The Navy has increased the security in the island waters recently due to the risk of the surge in the transmission of the Covid-19 pandemic in the country, due to attempts made by foreigners to arrive in the island via sea routes.
