In a letter addressed to the Union Minister, the Chief Minister said eight fishermen from Kanyakumari district were stranded in Muscat, Oman, due to the expiry of their visas and non-payment of salary by the Oman national under whom they were working.

I request you to urgently take up the issue through appropriate diplomatic channels to expedite their repatriation and also offer all consular support,” Stalin said in the letter. PTI JSP HDA HDA
