Documents obtained through an RTI application by Tamil Nadu’s BJP chief, K. Annamalai, reveal India’s inconsistent approach to the Katchatheevu island dispute with Sri Lanka. Katchatheevu, a small island in the Palk Strait, lacks a permanent settlement and freshwater source. Administered by both India and Sri Lanka historically, a 1974 agreement marked its boundary. Disagreements over claims to the island pose difficulties for Indian fishermen, especially those from Tamil Nadu.
