Overview
- More than 2,000 Indian Sikhs crossed the Attari–Wagah border for the 10-day Parkash Purb observances, the first people-to-people movement since the May conflict.
- Pakistan reopened the Wagah crossing and issued over 2,100 visas, receiving pilgrims in Lahore before they proceeded to Nankana Sahib and other historic gurdwaras.
- The official jatha comprised roughly 1,796–1,932 Indian citizens after New Delhi restricted travel to Indian passport holders and excluded NRIs, with return planned for November 13.
- Around 100 visa-holding travelers were stopped for lacking Indian Home Ministry clearance, briefly triggering a highway blockade near the border that was later cleared.
- Indian outlets reported that 12 Hindu pilgrims traveling with the jatha were denied entry by Pakistani authorities at Wagah, an incident that prompted criticism from Indian officials.
