Sri Lankan Foreign Minister G.L. Peiris and Indian HighCommissioner Ashok K. Kantha discussed the issue and officials on both sideswere hopeful that a solution to the problem would be found by Tuesday. Asked ifSri Lanka linking therelease of its fishermen held in India to Tamil Nadu fishermen beingheld here would lead to delays in the release of the 23 fishermen, a senior SriLankan official said that this was not the case. �We can have a releasetomorrow [Tuesday],� he added. �There are many Sri Lankan fishermen in Indian jails too. Wehave to work out a method to release them too,� said the official, when askedabout the incarceration of the Tamil Nadu fishermen in a jail here. More than 70 Sri Lankan fishermen are in Indian jails. Whilethose who get caught by the Tamil Nadu police are let off relatively early, manywho get caught in Andhra Pradesh, Orissa and in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, get incarcerated for long periods. Thelegal procedures in India,in these States, take longer to be completed. Sri Lankan Navy had apprehended the fishermen on charges ofencroaching and poaching in Sri Lankan waters on the night of June 20, reports TheHindu. Viewer Comments
