SRINAGAR : The weekly Karvan-e-Aman bus, operating between Srinagar and Muzaffarabad, capital of Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (PoK) left here to cross over to other side of the Line of Control (LoC) in Uri sector, official sources said.
The bus left here Monday morning with five passengers, including two PoK returnees and three Kashmiris, crossing over to other side to meet their relatives separated due to partition in 1947, sources said.
They said the bus has since reached Trade Facilitation Centre (TFC), Uri, where more passengers will join before leaving for Kaman Post, the last Indian military post on this side of the LoC.
Exact number of travellers in bus to PoK will be known later in the day. Similarly, the passengers travelling from PoK will be known only in the afternoon, they said.
The weekly bus, introduced in 2005, has helped thousands of families divided in 1947 to meet each other. However, only state subjects from both sides are eligible to travel in the bus provided their names are cleared from the intelligence agencies from both the countries. (AGENCIES)
