    A trip by a delegation from the University of Bradford to Pakistan has been forced to finish early due to tensions with neighbouring India.

    The representatives from the university were on a trip to create new opportunities for the two areas to collaborate and were scheduled to visit Lahore, Islamabad and Karachi over six days.

    However, the final leg of the tour had to be cancelled due to escalating tensions between Pakistan and India over incidents in the disputed region of Kashmir.
