Pakistan has released 18 Indian fishermen held for violating its territorial waters, a senior jail official said on Sunday.

The Landhi jail superintendent said the fisherman would travel to Lahore from the Cantt railway station and will enter India through the Wagah border crossing.

He said as many as 199 Indian fishermen have been released from the jail this year as a goodwill gesture.

Both Indian and Pakistani fishermen are frequently detained because of demarcation disputes in the Arabian Sea.
