An Indian boy Shihab Chottur reached Pakistan, the boy was waiting for his passport from four months but then he decided to go on foot, he travelled almost 3300 km from Kerala to Punjab to reach Pakistan. He was stopped from entering in Pakistan last year, as there was no agreement between New Delhi and Islamabad to transit visas.
He then waited a whole year for his visa and now reached Pakistan on two-day transit visa, transit visa is for travelers who are travelling over countries on foot. The 29 year old took it to Instagram and posted a video saying that Alhumdulilah reached Pakistan safely crossing the Wahga border. He added that journey on foot is not difficult but the real issue is permission and preparation.
