Natwar starts Pakistan trip today
Amid hopes of progress in breaking the deadlock over the modalities to run a Srinagar- Muzafarabad bus service and trans-national gas pipelines, External Affairs Minister Natwar Singh arrives here today with a heavily loaded agenda that includes ironing out differences over Ahemedabad as venue for the forthcoming Pakistan cricket tour.
Ahead of Singh's three-day visit, Indian and Pakistani officials are hopeful that both countries could resolve differences over travel documents for passengers in the bus service connecting both sides of LOC. New Delhi reportedly toyed with the idea of permitting the travel with local "rahdari" permit system prevalent till 1953 on both sides of Kashmir.
