New Delhi: A 19-member team of Indian students and
teachers Thursday left for Pakistan on a five-day visit that will
take them to three leading schools and some tourist sites in
Lahore.
Arranged by Indian group Routes 2 Roots along with a Pakistani
NGO, the tour is part of an ongoing programme that involves
exposing young minds from the two countries to India and Pakistan.
The students and teachers, drawn from Mumbai and New Delhi, will
cross into Pakistan by foot after reaching Amritsar by train. They
will return Monday.
The three schools from Delhi which have contributed to the visit
are Sanskriti School, St Paul's School and B.R. Mehta School, the
organisers said.
In Lahore, the students and teachers will interact with their
counterparts in City School and two branches of ILM School.
The Indians will also visit Lahore Museum, Lahore Fort, Badshahi
Mosque, Minar-i-Pakistan, Jahangir's Tomb and a gurudwara. They
will also be provided time to shop and see Lahore.
