Diplomatic Tensions Between India and Canada Worry Punjab Residents

 


The recent diplomatic spat between India and Canada has left many residents of Punjab anxious about their future plans. The expulsion of diplomats from both countries, following the murder of a Sikh separatist leader, has heightened concerns among those planning to work, study, or visit family in Canada.
