Days after Modi, Sunak meet on G20 sidelines, India to reinstate e-visas for travellers from UK

<p>Following the targeted attack on Sikh Gurudwara in the capital Kabul city, the Indian government has granted e-visas to more than 100 Sikhs and Hindus living in Afghanistan on priority basis, according to reports.</p>

<p>The decision was taken on Saturday late at night after the attack on Karte Parwan Gurdwara by the Islamic State terrorist group.</p>

<p>Two persons were killed and seven injured in the Saturday attack in the Bagh-e-Bala neighbourhood. The attack could have turned out to be a bigger tragedy if it were not for the security forces who successfully stopped an explosive-laden vehicle from reaching the shrine in the war-torn country.</p>

<p>At least 30 people were inside the gurdwara when it was attacked early in the morning</p>

<p>Among the dead include a Sikh man in the gurdwara and a soldier from the Taliban’s Islamic Emirate Army in the crossfire.</p>

<p>The three attackers were later killed by the Taliban forces, the Pajhwok news agency reported.</p>
