Stalin urges Jaishankar to aid stranded Tamil Nadu fishermen

Tamil Nadu's Chief Minister, M.K. Stalin, has asked Union Minister for External Affairs S. Jaishankar to help bring home about 650 fishermen from the state who are stuck in Iran amid the ongoing tensions in West Asia.
Most of them are from Kanniyakumari, with others from Tirunelveli, Thoothukudi, and Ramanathapuram. Their families back home are worried and waiting for updates.

Hope for a quick resolution to this issue

Stalin highlighted how tough things have become for these fishermen and stressed that a fast response from the government would be a huge relief for their families.
With tensions rising in the region, he's hoping for urgent steps so everyone can return safely soon.
