SRINAGAR : The weekly Karvan-e-Aman bus, operating between Srinagar and Muzaffarabad, the capital of Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK) resumed today after it had remained suspended for two weeks. Official sources told UNI that the bus left Srinagar for Kaman post, the last Indian military post on this side of the Line of Control (LoC) in Uri sector this morning. Similarly POK bus has also left Muzarffarabad for Chakoti the last military installation of Pakistan on the other side of the LoC. The bus service could not operate on March 23 in view of the “Pakistan Day†while it was suspended on March 30 due to flood threat in the Kashmir valley as the river Jehlum, which finally enters POK, was flowing above danger mark. The bus service, operating since April 7,2005, has helped thousands of families divided in 1947 to meet each other after India and Pakistan agreed to allow travel of state issues from both sides of the LoC on permits instead of International passports.
