Karachi, Pakistan’s vibrant capital and financial center, has made a momentous step by allowing pilgrims from Sindh to travel to Iran this year by bus and in their own vehicles.
The action intends to ease religious travel and advance cross-border tourism between the two regions.
According to the chief minister of Sindh’s spokeswoman, the Chabahar route would be used by the buses and automobiles as they go from Karachi to Iran.
This choice was made during a meeting between Murad Ali Shah, the Chief Minister of Sindh, and Hasan Noorin, the Iranian Consul General, where they talked about a variety of topics of interest and cooperation.
