BATTAGRAM: A Chinese engineer held his marriage ceremony afresh at the Kuzabanda base camp here on Sunday evening in line with Pakistani traditions.

The engineer working on the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor project had got married a month ago in China.

During the ceremony, the participants took the bride to a nearby Chinese camp before the engineer showed up and took her to his camp in the traditional wedding procession, barat in local parlance.

The bride wore a traditional red bridal dress, while the engineer put on sherwani, a long coat for bridegroom.
