The letter also talks about travel and food arrangements for the Indian men after they are released from the respective prisons in Karachi and then taken to Lahore and the Wagah border. The prisoners who have done time of between 16 and 24 months would enter India by road – from the Wagah border – on August 13, the eve of Pakistan’s Independence Day. The fishermen should be in India by late afternoon on August 13.

The names of the fishermen were not released till the time of going to press, but it was reliably learned that they are from Gujarat and Diu. They were taken into custody by Pakistani forces when they had inadvertently crossed over into Pakistani waters.
