#SupremeCourt says Indian Tamilian fishermen need to be sensitised not to cross Sri Lankan borders for fishing at the disputed Katchatheevu island.

Justice Kumar, while hearing the matter, said: "I have been to Sri Lanka myself, and I was amazed that I couldn't see anyone trashing on the road, and even in the old city. They are so civic consciously, unlike us. That is a sad situation. So obviously they don't dump anything into their seas also. If they don't do it on their roads, obviously they wouldn't do it in their seas. That is perhaps the reason why the fish stray away to the Sri Lankan waters."
