During the said two days, heavy machinery required for development work on Diamar Bhasha Dam was passed through Khunjrab border to Sost.

It included 40 truckloads, including 11 of hydropower plant equipment and 29 of livelihood supplies, according to official sources.

In the next phase, important supplies stuck in China will be allowed to cross into Pakistan from January 30 to February 10.

A senior Pakistani official has appreciated the special efforts of border officials on both sides to ensure smooth operation despite challenging conditions. The bilateral partnership is truly All Weather and higher than the Himalayas.

It may be noted that due to the closure of the Pakistan-China border, important Pakistani supplies were stuck on the Chinese side.
