NewsBytes - Sri Lanka has set at least 11 Indian fishermen free, in a goodwill gesture.

This comes after PM Narendra Modi appealed for a "humane approach" to resolve the long-standing fishermen issue.

The fishermen issue was a major agenda during talks between PM Modi and Lankan President Anura Kumara Dissanayake on Saturday, where they also talked about issues concerning the livelihood of these fishermen.

The issue here is that they are stealing our fish stick every day. It is done in purpose not accidental.
