Fishermen in Rameswaram on Wednesday launched an indefinite strike demanding that the state and central governments take action to get 14 fishermen and their three boats released from Sri Lankan custody.

The fishermen were observing a one-day fast yesterday for the cause.

All the boats - more than 700 -- operating from Rameswaram did not go for fishing.
