India, Pak technical teams discuss Kartarpur corridor

A 105-minute meeting of the Kartarpur corridor technical committee was today held between officials of India and Pakistan at the zero point —the place where the Indian and Pakistani sides of the proposed corridor converge. The meeting was held amid tight security.
This was the first meeting ever since India revoked special status of Jammu and Kashmir, leading to tension between the two neighbours. The project is being established to mark the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev.

As in the past, no official briefed the media on what exactly transpired during the meeting. Sources claimed Pakistan was asked to speed up the construction of a 300-metre bridge on its side. “Initially, Pakistan officials were reluctant to construct the bridge. Citing security reasons, they kept on insisting they would build a causeway instead. When we pointed out that the causeway would lead to flooding of Dera Baba Nanak, they agreed to build the bridge,” said an official.
