Pakistan denies permission to take palki sahib across border
The Palki Sahib sent for a gurdwara in Pakistan via the Attari-Wagah border was brought back to India following a refusal by Pakistani authorities.
Pakistani authorities did not grant entry permission to the Palki Sahib sent for Gurdwara Sahib located in Pakistan via the Attari-Wagah border. Following the refusal by the authorities, the truck carrying the Palki Sahib has returned to India.
The Palki Sahib, prepared for the enshrinement of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, was brought to the international border in a special vehicle. Indian authorities had completed all necessary paperwork and custom formalities to send it across the border.
Upon reaching the border, Pakistan customs authorities sought time, citing the need to obtain necessary approval. Because of this, the entourage accompanying the Palki Sahib had to wait there for several hours.
After a long wait, Pakistani authorities finally gave a flat refusal to enter the Palki Sahib into their country. Due to this decision, the vehicle carrying the Palki Sahib returned to Indian territory.
