Islamabad, Feb 05: Several Indian film stars and
artists including Shatrugan Sinha are in Pakistan to take part
in the annual Besant festival heralding the arrival of spring,
which began in Lahore today.
The celebrations include musical shows, kite flying
and food festivals with local specialties.
But the festival season began on a tragic note as four
boys were killed while more than two dozen persons received
injuries in various Basant related activities here yesterday.
Three boys were run over by a train while chasing a
stray kite on a railway track in Faisalabad. Another boy was
electrocuted to death when he accidentally touched the electric
wires passing over his house while flying kites on the roof of
his house.
Sray bullets injured two persons in various parts of
Faisalabad.
