Attari: Pakistani authorities on Wednesday released 18 Indian fishermen at this India-Pakistan joint check post.
The release of the fishermen, all of whom belong to Porbandar in Gujarat, came just a day before the home secretary-level talks between both countries, scheduled to begin on Thursday in Islamabad.
The released fishermen said they had crossed into Pakistan's territorial waters inadvertently in the last one year and had been lodged in Pakistani jails for terms ranging from three to 18 months.
The fishermen will be sent to their respective native place, border officials said in Attari.
