India and Nepal hold talks on Friday on the implementation of cross-border railway links, according to both outlets. The two sides discuss progress on two broad-gauge rail lines: the Jaynagar–Bijalpura–Bardibas route and the Jogbani–Biratnagar route. The talks are conducted through the Joint Working Group framework focused on railway connectivity between the countries. Both sources say the rail projects are being developed with grant assistance provided by the Government of India. The discussions center on how the projects are being carried out and ongoing steps for implementation. While the reports focus on the status of these specific railway corridors, they do not provide further details on timelines, construction milestones, or expected commissioning dates. No disagreements or new policy changes are reported in the available summaries. Overall, the meeting is presented as a coordination effort between India and Nepal to advance the cross-border rail infrastructure supported by Indian grant funding.
