Pakistani media claims Amritsar-Lahore Dosti Bus Service 'suspended'; India denies reports

According to the reports in Pakistani websites, the government of India has suspended the Dosti (Friendship) Bus Service between Lahore and Amritsar citing 'unfeasible' conditions.

However, Indian authorities have rejected the reports in Pakistani media and told our sources that there is no plan to suspend the Amritsar-Lahore bus service. 

The Delhi–Lahore Bus, officially known as Sada-e-Sarhad (Call of the Frontier), is a passenger bus service connecting Delhi with  Lahore, Pakistan via the border transit post at Wagah.  The bus plies between Lahore and Amritsar every Tuesday and Friday.

According to the reports in Pakistani websites, the bus had left Lahore on Friday as per schedule but did not return.

India has already cancelled the flag ceremony at Wagah border after the rising tensions between the two countries.
