After spending three days at the lahore railway station and its adjacent hotels in Pakistan’s Punjab province, a total of 86 Indian passengers have left for their home by crossing the Wagah border on foot.
Some 200 people were going to India by Samjhauta Express last Thursday when it was stopped at the
Wagah Border by the Indian authorities who cited potential security risks due to protests by farmers.
The train then returned to the lahore railway station and the Pakistani authorities provided stay to the passengers at the station and adjacent hotels.
The Pakistani passengers, however, left for their homes.
The departure of the Samjhauta Express was yesterday cancelled again on the same ground.
Pakistan Railways Minister Saad Rafique said the Indian passengers would be sent back to their homes by road.
