Principal Secretary (Home) S K Nanda told PTI "The visas issued to the delegation were only for Ahmedabad while some members had visas for Surat and Vapi also. The delegation could not attend the Vibrant Gujarat Summit which was held in Gandhinagar (about 30-km from Ahmedabad)."
Pakistani citizens are issued visas city-wise or to a certain destination and not for the entire country.
The Gujarat government had invited some members of the Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry for the event. They attended some industry symposiums in Ahmedabad on Thursday.
It was not immediately known as to who was responsible for the goof-up.
