New Delhi termed as 'unfortunate and not in keeping with the spirit of the peace efforts' the remarks of Pakistan Foreign Office spokesman on Monday that the peace package was a 'rehash and recycle' of offers made by Islamabad earlier.
 
A Ministry of External Affairs spokesman said the chairman of the Delhi Transport Corporation has written to Pakistan Tourism Development Corporation proposing to deploy additional buses on the Delhi-Lahore-Delhi route.

The spokesman said instructions have been issued to the Indian immigration authorities to allow those above the age of 65 to cross at Wagah check-point on foot.
 
Steps have also been initiated for free medical treatment of the second lot of 20 Pakistani children in India, the spokesman said.
