Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Urges Centre to Secure Release of 25 Thoothukudi Fishermen Held by Maldives Coast Guard
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin has urged the Union government to intervene urgently for the release of 25 fishermen from Thoothukudi who were detained by the Maldives Coast Guard along with three mechanised boats on October 13. The appeal underscores the recurring vulnerability of Indian coastal communities operating in disputed or sensitive waters and the diplomatic burden such arrests place on New Delhi.
