  • Conditions during detention reportedly included **physical abuse** and harsh treatment, leading to increased calls for humane treatment from the fishermen and their families.
  • The decline in fish catch in Indian waters, attributed to **climate change and pollution**, compels many fishermen to risk entering Sri Lankan territory.
  • Community protests in **Tamil Nadu** reflect frustrations over the Indian government’s inability to ensure the safety and security of its fisherfolk.
  • Experts warn that **environmental degradation** and rising costs are threatening the livelihoods of Indian fishermen, with many now unwilling to follow the fishing tradition.
