Seven fishermen from Tamil Nadu were arrested on Tuesday by Naval personnel for allegedly fishing in territorial waters here.
The seven, part of groups of fishermen who put out to sea from TN, have been taken to Talaimannar in northern Sri Lanka.
The arrest came on the first day of fishermen resuming their work after the end of a 45-day-long annual fish breeding season ban on fishing using mechanised boats.
