Two Indo-Pak 'Sada-e-Sarhad' buses, connecting Delhi with Lahore, had to be diverted today after a group of villagers blocked the national highway here to protest the death of an undertrial.
While one was Lahore-bound, the other was on its way to Delhi from Pakistan, police said.
The Lahore-Delhi international bus was diverted from village Mehtan to Phagwara bypass to NH-1 via Hargobind Nagar.
The Delhi-Lahore bus was also diverted from Hargobind Nagar to Phagwara bypass to NH-1 via Mehtan.
"Both buses kept their onward journey without any hindrance," police said.
Family members and residents of Mahlan village had blocked traffic at the crossing near a local sugar mill on NH 1 for about two-and-a-half hours to protest the death of Gurpreet Singh, an undertrial, who died last night.
