Katchatheevu & Palk Strait — fisher livelihoods
A briefing on the 1974 and 1976 India–Sri Lanka maritime boundary agreements and fisher-livelihood evidence on both sides of the Palk Strait.
Not a call to 'return' Katchatheevu, not a Tamil-Nadu-only framing, not a TLTE arrest count.

The 1974 and 1976 India–Sri Lanka agreements together delimit the Palk Strait and Gulf of Mannar boundary. TLTE always pairs 1974 with 1976.

India's MEA and Indian press periodically publish figures for Tamil Nadu fishers arrested by Sri Lankan authorities. TLTE cites the source's own number — TLTE does not aggregate.

Northern Tamil fishers in Jaffna, Kilinochchi, Mullaitivu and Mannar face documented livelihood harm from bottom-trawling incursions and navy restrictions. TLTE pairs any TN arrest figure with this evidence.
