Rediff.com's Sheela Bhatt says that Sri Lanka has released 34 Indian fishermen, who had been captured off the Delft Islands in northern Lanka. Though 19 fishermen are yet to be freed, diplomatic efforts by India seem to have yielded results. The credit goes to the Indian High Commission in Colombo and the consulate in Jaffna. They are now being brought to Jaffna, pending repatriation through Indian Consulate General and the Sri Lankan navy.
