The World Bank's Swiss neutral expert Raymond Lafitte on Sunday started inspection of Baglihar dam design and 'peripheral set-up' of the 450-MW controversial hydel project in Doda district of occupied Kashmir.
"The team entered the project construction site at Chanderkote area of the district at around 1000 hours. The team straight away went to the dam site and began inspecting its peripheral structures, like the diversion tunnels," an official was quoted as saying, according to a news report received here.
The 3-member Swiss team would be discussing the entire design with the Indian and Pakistani officials during the inspection tour after studying the flow of the Chenab river and the various data provided, the report said.
Six-member Pakistan's delegation headed by Secretary Water and Power Ashfaq Mahmood is visiting the site along with Indian counterparts and World Bank neutral expert.
The Pakistani representatives had brought along "documentary evidence" in support of their viewpoint, the report added.
Lafitte, along with two other Swiss neutral experts, 6 Pakistani and 4 Indian officials had arrived in occupied Jammu on Saturday.
