SRINAGAR, June 22:
Not a single guest from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) arrived here today while only two Kashmiris crossed over to other side of the Line of Control (LoC) in the Karvan-e-Aman bus, operating between Srinagar and Muzaffarabad.
However, 26 returnees cross sides at Kaman Post, the last Indian military post on this side of the LoC in Uri sector in north Kashmir district of Baramulla, official sources told UNI. They said there was no fresh guest from PoK, mainly due to holy month of Ramdan. However, two people, including a woman, who had gone to PoK, returned to their homes after completing stay with their relatives, separated in 1947 due to partition.
They said two Kashmiris crossed over to other side of the LoC to meet their separated relatives. However, 24 PoK residents, including four women and ten children, who had come here in previous buses, also returned to their homes after completing their stay here. The bus service, introduced on April 7, 2005 has helped thousands of families to meet each other. (UNI)
