ATTARI, Amritsar: At least 29 people, who had gone to Pakistan to cover Pakistan Super League (PSL) which was called off over coronavirus outbreak, on Wednesday night returned to India through the land transit route of Attari-Wagah border here.
When they entered India after being cleared by the Pakistan Immigration Authority, they were detained at Attari border.
According to officials, they had earlier flown to Dubai from New Delhi to reach Pakistan to cover PSL there.
The PSL, however, was aborted and they decided to return to India. They took land route to reach Attari-Wagah border.
All were cleared by Indian immigration authority after being allowed by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs. Amritsar Civil Surgeon Dr Prabdeep Kaur Johal said that by 9.30pm all the Indian nationals were not handed over to the medical team for checkup.
She said if anyone of them are found with any symptoms of the virus, they would be admitted to Amritsar Government Hospital or else they would be allowed to continue their journey to Delhi or elsewhere.
