The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has consistently voiced its discontent over the $20 charge imposed by Pakistan for corridor access. Despite the continuous efforts and dialogues, there has been no response from Islamabad regarding this concern. MEA spokesperson, Arindam Bagchi, emphasized the significance of the issue for India, indicating persistent endeavors to address the matter with the neighboring nation.

Ceasefire Violations and Security Concerns

The MEA also took a strong stance against the ceasefire violations and instances of cross-border infiltration attributed to Pakistan. These activities were labeled as direct breaches of the bilateral agreements between the two countries. Highlighting the security implications, Bagchi shared that the Border Security Force (BSF) actively engaged with their Pakistani counterparts in flag meetings and through various diplomatic channels to address these incidents.

With the judgment still under wraps, the MEA has cautioned against conjecture and confirmed that an appeal is in progress. The Indian embassy has been granted consular access, underscoring the attentive involvement of Indian authorities in the proceedings.
