Tight Deadline & Political Sensitivities
The terminal and corridor had to be built within 10 months to be ready for Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s 550th birth anniversary on November 9, 2019.
Coordination between India and Pakistan was critical, as both sides had to complete their respective portions on time.
