SRINAGAR: As many as 41 fresh guests from Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) arrived here today while 14 Kashmiris crossed over to other side of the Line of Control (LoC) in the weekly Karvan-e-Aman bus, operating between Srinagar and Muzaffarabad.
“196 returnees, including 116 residents of PoK, who were stranded in Jammu after Poonch-Rawalakote bus service was suspended since July 10 due to heavy shelling from across the border, also crossed sides at Kaman Post, the last Indian military post on this side of the LoC in Uri sector,” official sources told UNI this evening.
The Karvan-e-Aman bus service resumed today after remaining suspended last week on account of Independence Day of Pakistan.
Sources said 41 resident of PoK, including 13 women and six children, arrived at Kaman Post after crossing the Aman Setu, peace bridge, on foot to meet their relatives, separated in 1947 due to partition.
Seven Kashmiris, who had gone to POK, also returned to their homes after completing stay on other side of the LoC. (AGENCIES)
