NEW DELHI, Feb 13: Around 50 students and teachers from Pakistan crossed the Wagah border on foot early Tuesday morning to take part in the Catchpole Centenary Celebrations, scheduled to be held in Dehra Dun from Feb 15-17. The contingent, comprising cricketers and athletes from Cadet College Hasan Abdal and Abbottabad Public School, would be competing in cricket and hockey matches to be contested as part of the Catchpole Festival this week.
