India expresses concern over proposed construction of Chinese rail link in Pak

India has expressed concern at China's plan to build a drail link with Pakistan through the Karakoram ranges. Talking to newsmen on the sidelines of a seminar in New Delhi yesterday, the Minister of state for Defence Dr. M.M.Pallam Raju however said, New Delhi was doing its own preparations to counter such a move. He was responding to a question on the Chinese plans to build the rail link to Pakistan and reach the Arabian Sea via the Gilgit-Baltistan region in Pak-occupied Kashmir. Mr.Raju said, both China and Pakistan had made it very apparent that they were working closely together and cooperating closely on defence and strategic issues. Our correspondent reports, that China has already built a rail line up to the Indian border along the Tibetan plateau and now the plan is to have a rail link to Pakistan and reach the Arabian Sea.
