Six Sri Lankan fishermen were rescued near the sea of Rakkhine State in western Myanmar and taken to Tabyuchaik Base Camp by�Myanmar Navy.
One fisherman was reported ill and was taken to Rakkhine State hospital for treatment.
The 40-feet-long fishing boat, painted green and yellow bearing the registration
number IMUL-A-0411 ? KLT, had left for fishing from Beruwala with six fishermen onboard on July 17. It had developed engine trouble in mid-sea and consequently had started to drift towards western Myanmar.
On a request of the Embassy of Sri Lanka, Myanmar Navy dispatched a rescue mission towards 60 miles from the Rakkhine state. The Embassy is presently taking necessary measures with the Myanmar Navy to dispatch the rescued fishermen and the boat safely to Sri Lanka.
