RC THE HINDU for IBPS PO MAINS 2017
Practice Reading Comprehension from "The Hindu" Editorial (Nov 2nd Week)
Set-1:
The Hindu Editorial (07.11.2016):
Looking for a humane solution
The agreement between India and Sri Lanka on establishing a Joint Working Group on fisheries is a
small step forward in resolving the dispute between fishermen of both countries. In fact, such a mechanism had
been in place until a few years ago to address problems that arose whenever fishermen from Tamil Nadu were
arrested by Sri Lanka. The points agreed on are important: a hotline between the Coast Guards of both countries,
a meeting of the JWG once in three months, and a meeting of the fisheries ministers every six months. Welcome
too is the commitment that there would be no violence or loss of life of fishermen. These measures are useful in
getting Indian fishermen or their boats released from custody, but they are unlikely to have any immediate
impact on the livelihood crisis facing the fishermen of northern Sri Lanka. Such a crisis may grip Tamil Nadu
fishermen too one day, after the fishery resources in the Palk Bay are exhausted. The real issue is how long
trawlers from Tamil Nadu will continue to fish in Sri Lankan territorial waters, and how soon bottom trawling is
ended. The official statement after the talks between the foreign ministers refers to ―expediting the transition
towards ending the practice of bottom trawling at the earliest‖. An agreement on this is crucial, but in the
absence of a time frame there remains a question mark over a solution emerging.
Sri Lankan Tamil fishermen are firm on an immediate end to all incursions and are against seized Indian boats
being released without legal process, even though they agree that the arrested fishermen should be released. In
talks between representatives of fishermen held a few days earlier, Tamil Nadu fishermen had asked for a threeyear
phase-out period for their trawlers, and a deal under which they would fish for 85 days a year until then.
This was rejected outright by the Sri Lankan side, which holds that the Indian vessels cause serious economic
and ecological damage. One way of preventing boundary transgression is to find a livelihood alternative for
Tamil Nadu fishermen. Equipping them for deep sea fishing is an option. For now, Tamil Nadu should show
greater understanding of the plight of the Sri Lankan Tamil fishermen, who are economically weaker and yet to
fully recover from a devastating war, and agree to a more reasonable phase-out period. Sri Lanka, then, can look
at a licensing system under which fishermen from both sides can fish on specified days using sustainable
methods and permissible equipment. It is important that all sides recognise that there is a humanitarian
dimension to the issue.
