A 65-year-old Indian Sikh pilgrim who arrived here to attend the ‘Vaisakhi Mela’ festivities died of a heart attack, officials said on Wednesday.
Jokindar Singh, a resident of Taij Buhadar Nagar, Jalandhar, arrived in Lahore via Wagah Border last Sunday and died of a heart attack on Tuesday, Evacuee Trust Property Board (ETPB) spokesperson Amir Hashmi told PTI.
A total of 2,470 pilgrims from India went to Pakistan last week for the Vaisakhi (Baisakhi) celebrations.
