Only on January two, Sri Lanka agreed to release 51 fishermen in its custody and consider returning a large number of fishing boats in its custody. This was decided during a high-level ministerial level meeting of Sri Lanka and India held in Colombo on the vexed issue of fishermen.
Indian and Lanka Coast Guard had yesterday discussed various measures for the release and repatriation of arrested fishermen among other areas of cooperation in the maritime security scenario.
A three-member delegation led by Director General Sri Lanka Coast Guard (SLCG) Rear Admiral Samantha Wimalathunge, is on a three-day visit to India from January three for talks with the Indian Coast Guard.
