Pakistan’s High Commission issued visa to allow a Punjab man who was separated from family during partition to visit Pakistan.

Muhammad Habibaka Sika Khan lost his brother Muhammed Siddique during the partition in 1947, when part of Punjab went to Pakistan. Sika Khan remained in India’s Punjab but his brother went to Faisalabad in Pakistan’s Punjab.
