New Delhi: A number of foreign journalists, intending to cover the Dalai Lama's visit to Arunachal Pradesh beginning on Sunday, may not be able to do so as their applications for special permits are still under process.

At least 19 journalists, 14 of them based in India and five abroad, have applied to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) for permission to travel to Arunachal to cover the high profile visit.
Asked about the status of the applications, MEA sources merely said these are under "process".
The delay would effectively mean that the journalists would not be able to make it as the Dalai Lama's visit will begin on Sunday.
Apparently sensing this, some of the foreign media houses have sent the local correspondents to cover the event.
