Amritsar (Punjab) [India], August 25 (ANI): A group of 46 Pakistani nationals including 23 children, who were supposed to be repatriated from Amritsar, were sent back from the Attari-Wagah border after the Pakistan government denied entry to them over non-availability of proper COVID report.
"We got tested on Monday but the Pakistan government did not approve. Our tests are being done again," says Wazir, a Pakistan national.
Speaking to ANI, Assistant sub-inspector (ASI) Arunpal Singh, Protocol Officer at Attari-Wagah Border said, "These people have arrived in India a year ago to visit the sacred places and were stranded in Amritsar due to COVID induced lockdown."
"Earlier also around 15-20 days ago these people came to the Attari-Wagah border without prior permission and were sent back," he added.
