The pilgrims will stay in Pakistan for 10 days.

Issues hindering warm relations between the two countries must be addressed through talks at the earliest, he demanded.
Special security and transport arrangements have been made to facilitate the pilgrims.
250 Hindu pilgrims to arrive on 19th
Yogester Lal, the head of the delegation, said the yatrees were delighted to be in Pakistan, adding that they were representing 10 Indian states.
“We have brought a message of peace, love and harmony from India,” he said.
Indians have good sentiments for Pakistanis, he said and added that they never faced any problem in the country due to the government’s efforts.
“We wanted both governments to make arrangements to ensure ease for the people of both countries,” said Yogester.
