Better Pakistan-India ties stressed

NANKANA SAHIB - India’s Ludhiana Photo Journalists Association Chairman Harminder Singh laid stress on improving Pakistan-Indian ties, saying that the two governments should step up their effort to better relations according to aspirations of the people.
“The people of India and Pakistan have a great respect for each other,” he said during his visit to the Gurdwara Janamasthan. He expressed his gratitude for the hospitality the locals accorded him during his visits.  He suggested the two countries must relax the visa policies to enhance people-to-people contact.
He visited the various parts of the Gurdwara and appreciated chairman of ETBP and its officials and government of Pakistan for the different development projects.  At the end, guests were honoured by presenting Suroopa (religious yellow Shaal) by the administration of the local Gurdwara. 
Residents accuse SHO of power abuse: Hundreds of villagers protested outside the DPO office against the Saddr Police SHO for registration of a fake case to show his so-called progress here the other day.
They demanded the suspension of the SHO and a fair inquiry against him.
According to detail, the residents of nearby villages including Khadanwala, Budda, Kot Ameer Ali, Aabianwala and Ladoana alleged that three days ago Nankana Saddr Police SHO arrested dozens of poor labour on pretext of action against liquor suppliers and illegal weapons.
