Demonstration by fisherfolk
Hundreds of fisherfolk in Pesalai and Mannar insisted they would not give up their demonstration until the government took measures to stop Indian fishermen poaching in Lankan waters, police said yesterday.
They said the protesting farmers were continuing their campaign for the third day, thus crippling traffic in the area. DIG Mahinda Beddewela said several attempts to persuade the fisherfolk to give up the protests were of no avail.
