Queen's Baton to arrive in India on June 25

The Commonwealth Games' Queen's Baton Relay (QBR) will arrive in India from Pakistan through the Attari border on June 25, just 100 days before the October 3-14 mega-event to be held in Delhi.

CWG Media Committee chairman and MP Tarlochan Singh said that after arriving in India, the QBR would pass through the main cities of Punjab before reaching Himachal Pradesh on June 28.

On the occasion, cultural programmes would be organised at the international border which would be attended by the prominent personalities from Pakistan and India.

The QBR, which is similar to the Olympic Torch Relay, began on October 29 last year at London's Buckingham Palace. It travels through a 190,000 kilometer route touching 71 nations and territories of the Commonwealth.
