Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s planned trip to Lahore for a conference is unlikely to receive clearance from the central government, officials say.
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has announced a trip to Lahore for a conference, but officials say the central government is unlikely to grant clearance.
The AAP‑led CM had earlier sought permission for the visit, which is scheduled to take place in the Pakistani city.
However, no approval has been issued, and the central authorities have indicated that the trip may not be sanctioned due to cross‑border sensitivities.
The decision could affect diplomatic relations and may prompt the CM to seek alternative arrangements or postpone the visit.
