India will raise concerns with Pakistan on a number of crucial issues on the proposed Kartarpur corridor for Sikh pilgrims to be operational in November such as the numbers to be allowed daily, the paper-work required and the building of a bridge over a flood-prone creek when the two meet at Pakistan’s side of the Wagah border on Sunday, a government official has said.
New Delhi’s objections to inclusion of a Khalistani separatist in a committee set up by Pakistan on the project, which has been ignored so far, will also be raised at the meeting.
“There are a large number of issues that are to be ironed out with Pakistan including infrastructure and logistics issues and the Indian delegation will pursue each one of them when the two sides meet on July 14. Hopefully we can settle these issues and work will progress smoothly on the Pakistani side too for completion of the corridor in less than four months time,” the official told BusinessLine .
