Last train to Pakistan leaves Delhi
The last train carrying Pakistanis home from India left Delhi on Sunday amid emotional scenes at the station.

The passengers boarded the train after tearful goodbyes to their Indian relatives, many having had to cut short their trips.

The 25-year-old service between Delhi and Attari, on the Pakistan border, was stopped by India as part of its retaliatory measures against Islamabad following an attack on the Indian parliament two weeks ago.
