NEW DELHI: A high-level meeting was held at the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) on Friday to discuss improvement to infrastructure at the Attari Railway Station and the Wagah international border in Punjab.
Attended by Foreign Secretary Shyam Saran, Home Secretary V. K. Duggal and the Punjab Chief Secretary, the meeting decided that Cabinet approval would be obtained for four-laning of the road from Attari to Wagah.
Security fencing and construction of roads along the railway track and from Attari to the international border have already begun. The timings of trains at Attari have been revised to bring down waiting time. Widening of the road leading to the Attari railway station would be completed by June 30.
