Pakistani Sikh Pilgrims Return via Attari-Wagah Land Route After Special Permission
A 49-member Pakistani Sikh jatha was granted special permission by India's Ministry of Home Affairs to return home via the Attari-Wagah land route, following intervention by the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee. The pilgrims, who arrived in India by air on October 8, were originally scheduled to fly back but will now cross the border on foot, saving travel expenses. The Attari-Wagah crossing has been closed to general travelers since May 2025, with exceptions only for organized religious pilgrimages under the 1974 Indo-Pak protocol.
