FROM PAKISTAN, WITH LOVE: Sparkling bangles from Pakistan and a special women's team are attracting the maximum crowd at the on-going international trade fair in New Delhi.

The 72-member Pakistani delegation, with 36 stalls, has become a hot favourite for the visitors.

Men, women and children are thronging in large numbers at these stalls to buy bangles, marble, furniture, crockery, garments, spices, leather products and household goods.

The Pak women's delegation is being led by Rukhsana Jahangir, vice chairperson of the Standing Committee on Women Entrepreneurs and owner of Rohi Rung Embroidery in Karachi.
