SRINAGAR: Ten guests from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (POK) arrived here, while 30 Kashmiris crossed over to other side of the Line of Control (LoC) in the Karvan-e-Aman bus, which resumed on Monday after remaining suspended last week, owing to the birth anniversary of Pak founder Mohammad Ali Jinnah.
