SRINAGAR: The Karvan-e-Aman bus, operating between Srinagar and Muzaffarabad, capital of Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK) left here on Monday to cross over to other side of the Line of Control (LoC) at Uri in north Kashmir district of Baramulla, official sources said .
The bus left Bemina, Srinagar, this morning for Kaman post, the last Indian military post on this side of the LoC in Uri sector, they told UNI. They said the bus has since reached Trade Facilitation Centre (TFC) at Uri, where passengers will board it before proceeding towards Kaman post.
However, the exact number of passengers crossing over to other side will be known in the afternoon, they said.
