LAHORE: The Lahore Transport Company (LTC) with the collaboration of a private transport operator will commence a special bus service comprising air-conditioned CNG buses for Sikh pilgrims coming on special trains from India to observe the Jore Mela.
The transport would be provided to Sikh Yatrees as non-stop bus service from Lahore Railway Station to Gurdwara Dera Sahib as requested by the Evacuee Trust Property Board according to the protocol agreed by India and Pakistan. The main objective of the transport service is to provide safe and affordable commuting service to Sikh yatrees on their arrival.

The Pakistan government has made foolproof security arrangements for the yatrees besides provision of immigration, customs, bank and medical facilities to them at Wagah Railway Station.
Official sources said that the ETPB had made the best arrangements, including accommodation, transport and food, for the Sikh yatrees besides foolproof security.
