Whither Saarc?

Saarc having entered the 24th year of its existence is now a full grown youth. Unfortunately, Saarc hardly achieved anything whatsoever to go ga-ga over or write home about.
Ever since the inception of Saarc, the expectations were that Saarc would become a powerhouse like EU. Transit trade is the bottom line of EU's prosperity, involving various types of vehicles with consignments criss-crossing EU daily in thousands if not millions, generating billions of Euros in the EU countries.
Unless the caretaker govt provides transit to India, weaning Bangladesh towards a win-win culture of prosperity, Saarc will remain a perpetual talk shop or photo shop. The answers are blowing in the wind, is anyone listening?
