Shimla, Nov 14 (UNI) Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai will visit Himachal Pradesh University (HPU) during his two-day visit to the state beginning tomorrow, official sources today said.

This would be his second visit to Shimla after taking over the presidency of his country, the sources said, adding that he had last visited the town about three years ago.
