The pilgrims will be returning in a week
Nagpur: After a tumultuous year for cross-border travellers, who were left stranded due to Covid, a batch of 44 pilgrims, which included three from Nagpur, crossed over from Attari border to reach Ghotki town in Sindh province of Pakistan earlier this week.
The pilgrims will be returning in a week. On a yearly pilgrimage to Shadani Darbar shrine, visited mainly by Hindus from Sindh, they appealed that passage for other travellers should also be opened soon. This includes visit visa for people to meet their kin on either side of the border.
The batch follows a group of Sikh pilgrims that went during November last week. The last batch of persons, who were stranded after they had gone to visit their relatives in Pakistan early this year, was repatriated in November.
