Fishermen in Rameshwaram have gone on indefinite strike to demand the release of their colleagues arrested by Sri Lankan Navy on the charge of poaching. Sri Lankan navy on Saturday (April 6) arrested 30 more Indian fishermen for allegedly poaching in the country's waters, taking the total number of those captured to 56 in the last four days. The arrests have parked a massive political furor with political parties mounting pressure on the government to take a tough stand.
