PESHAWAR: The bodies of 19 Sikh pilgrims —who died after a collision between a train and their van in Sheikhupura —were shifted to Peshawar in a special Pakistan Air Force (PAF) aircraft early Saturday morning.
The bodies were then moved via ambulances from PAF base to Dabgani Mohalla Jogan Shah, where family members of the deceased mourned over the sudden demise of their loved ones. Later, they were shifted to Attock crematorium where last rites of the victims were held.
On Friday, at least 20 Sikh pilgrims died and several others were injured in a collision between a train and a coaster near Sheikhupura.
Secretary-General Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee Sardar Amir Singh said the deceased belonged to three or four families.
