India to release 88 Pak fishermen

India has conveyed to Pakistan that it will release 88 fishermen of the Islamic Republic over the weekend.

According to reports, the government conveyed the decision to the Pakistan High Commission, adding that the fishermen will be sent home once Islamabad's envoy releases their exit documents.

This move comes after Pakistan, in a gesture of goodwill, had released 113 Indian fishermen earlier this week.
