LAHORE, Oct 16: The government has not yet issued visas to several Indian doctors who want to take part in relief activities here. The doctors who have formed their teams for an organized relief work are waiting for the clearance of the Pakistani government, PPP MNA Chaudhry Manzoor says while quoting a message received here from New Delhi.
He says he has also contacted the Foreign Office in Islamabad to resolve the issue as officials there have promised to decide the matter on Monday (today).
He has appealed to President Musharraf and Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz to direct the authorities to take a positive decision in the wake of the misery being faced by the quake victims.
Meanwhile, the Kasur-to-Kashmir caravan being organized by the MNA will leave the border city Kasur at 9am on Tuesday and reach the Qadhafi Stadium, Lahore, by 11am where Indian MPs being led by Nirmala Desh Pandey, A.R. Shaheen and Hannan Mulla will join it.
The Indian team, carrying a consignment of relief goods, will cross Wagah border earlier Tuesday morning.
