SRINAGAR, Sept 11:
There will be no Karvan-e-Aman bus run, operating between Srinagar and Muzaffarabad, capital of Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (PoK) tomorrow in view of the Eid-ul-Azha on Tuesday.
Both the sides on LoC have agreed not to operate the bus tomorrow, official sources said. They said people, who were scheduled to travel in the weekly bus, have been informed about the decision. Barring on July 11 and 18, the bus service continued despite unrest in the Kashmir valley where 78 people were killed and over 8,000 others injured in security force and police action. The bus service on these days was suspended for security reasons while on July 4 in view of Eid-ul-Fitr.
During the unrest, the bus service from Srinagar to Kaman post, the last Indian military post on this side of the LoC in Uri sector, operated early in the morning and those coming from PoK had to wait at Uri before starting their journey towards their respective destinations late in the night to avoid stone pelting.(UNI)
