Eight fishermen were arrested in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands for fishing in the area reserved for the vulnerable Jarawa tribe.
Acting on a tip-off, a team of the Kadamtala police station that was patrolling near Strait Island rushed to Middle Andaman and made the arrests on Tuesday. The administration is trying to keep the vulnerable Jarawas as much away as possible from the local population in view of the coronavirus outbreak.
