LAHORE, Oct 14: A train carrying blankets, tents and medicines arrived here on Friday night from India. This is the second consignment of relief goods from the country in three days.

The Indian side had informed the Pakistan Railways on Friday morning that one wagon carrying tents and blankets would cross Wagah late night. Later, they increased the number to five, said a railways official. But finally four wagons crossed the border carrying 12 tons of medicines, 370 tents and 500 blankets.

Railways authorities, which sent an engine to the border, said the wagons would be taken to Rawalpindi at the earliest.
