Visas of two Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) officials have not been renewed by India for nearly a month, an act termed as "unfair" by Pakistan, which said it would impair people-to-people contact between the two countries.
PIA's Saeed Ahmed Khan and Shabbir Ahmed, who are station managers for the airlines in Delhi and Mumbai respectively, applied on December 21, 2015 for the renewal of their visas valid till January 7, 2016, according to Pakistani sources.
"Despite their applying well in time for the renewal, the Indian authorities have not renewed the entry documents. This is creating big problems for the duo in discharging their professional duty apart from facing personal difficulties," the sources sai.
PIA, the national carrier of Pakistan, is the only airline that provides direct air link between the two countries.
