Islamabad, May 14 (IANS) India has agreed to provide "comprehensive data" on the Tulbul navigation project in Indian Kashmir to Pakistan, following talks between the two countries' water resources secretaries here Friday.
The two-day talks on the Tulbul Navigation project between India's Water Resources Secretary Dhruv Vijai Singh and his Pakistani counterpart Javed Iqbal was held under the resumed dialogue process between the two South Asian nations.
