Despite snowfall ‘Karvan-e-Aman’ to operate today

SRINAGAR : Despite snowfall Karvan-e-Aman bus across the Line of Control (LoC0 will operate today, official sources said.

They said the bus service, operating between Srinagar and Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK), will continue its run despite snowfall on both sides of the border.   A bus left Srinagar for Kaman post, the last Indian military post on this side of the LoC in Uri sector, sources told UNI.

The bus service, introduced on April 7,2005, despite militant threat, has helped thousands of families divided in 1947 to meet each other after India and Pakistan agreed to allow travel of state subjects across both the sides on ‘Travel Permits’ instead of International passports. (AGENCIES)
