FEROZEPORE, February 8: THE second batch of over 338 prisoners of war between India and Pakistan was exchanged this afternoon at the Hussianiwala border, about seven miles from here. India handed over 163 Pakistani personnel and 175 Indian personnel returned from Pakistan. The exchange, which took place in cordial atmosphere was supervised among others by senior Army officers of India and Pakistan and representatives of the International Red Cross Society. Pakistani prisoners of war happily bade good-bye to Indian officers and jawans after they had taken their meals and their truck-loads moved towards the Hussainiwala border. As 175 Indian prisoners of war handed over by Pakistan touched Indian soil at the border, they raised slogans of "Bhartiya fauz zindabad and Bharat Mata ki jai."
