Pakistan restricts Delhi-Lahore bus service to India at Wagah
The Pakistan Tourism Development Corporation (PTDC) has said the bus service is being restricted following 'terror threats.
This is for the first time that the 'Dosti' bus service has been restricted after it began in March, 1999.
"The PTDC has shifted the entire bus operation at its sub-office at Wagah. Passengers leaving for New Delhi and Amritsar from Lahore will now have to catch the bus at Wagah. Similarly, those arriving to Lahore from across the border by the service will disembark at Wagah too," a PTDC official said
.He said the decision followed growing terror threats in Pakistan.
Earlier, police used to escort the 'Dosti' buses from Wagah to Lahore's Gulberg and Nankana Sahib terminals and from there to Wagah border.
