Anxiety over security of Indo-Pak Friendship Bus

Lahore, May 11: India has written a letter to Pakistan's Interior Ministry complaining about insufficient security measures for the Indo-Pak Friendship Bus Service that was restarted in Jul 2003.

The Interior Ministry has decided to enhance the security for the bus service and directed the Punjab Home Department to ensure foolproof security arrangements, a private TV channel reported on Sunday, May 11.

The Punjab Home Department has put the Lahore capital city police officer and the Superintendent of Police on high alert and asked the Sheikhupura region police officer and the Nankana Sahib district coordination officer to ensure security for the bus.

The service, launched in 1999, was suspended after the 2001 Parliament attack.
