Pakistanis to get Indian visas

Published November 10, 2005

ISLAMABAD: The Indian High Commission on Wednesday agreed to stamp visas for the Pakistani football team scheduled to take part in the Under-17 Asia Cup qualifying round to be played in New Delhi from Nov 11 to 13.

This was disclosed by the director general of Pakistan Sports Board, Brig. Arif Mehmud Siddiqui. The delayed issuance of visas means that the Pakistan team will arrive in New Delhi on Friday—the day the tournament gets under way in the Indian capital.—APP
