Six days after they started the agitation over the killing of 21-year-old fishermen Britto by the Sri Lankan Navy due to him having crossed across the Maritime Boundary, the fishermen who had been protesting at Rameshwaram have announced that they are withdrawing their agitation after meetings with Union Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and Pon Radhakrishnan. 21-year-old fisherman Britto was shot dead on 6 March allegedly by the Lankan Navy personnel while fishing in a mechanised boat off Katchatheevu Islet. The fishermen have been on the protest since 7 March, refusing to receive the body of the youth unless they were given reassurances from a Central Minister that such incidents would not recur. Another fishermen leader P. Sesuraja said the community had already given a call for a one-day fast on Monday. After the fast, the funeral would be held and the agitation would be withdrawn.
