Early Times Report
Srinagar, Nov 14: Only two residents of Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) arrived here while eight Kashmiris crossed over to the other side of the Line of Control (LoC) in Karwan-e-Aman bus, operating between Srinagar and Muzaffarabad.
Meanwhile, 12 returnees also crossed the sides at Kaman post, the last Indian military post on this side of the LoC in Uri sector.
Official sources here this evening said two PoK residents, including a woman, arrived at Kaman post after crossing Aman Setu, peace bridge, on foot to meet their relatives, separated in 1947 due to partition.
They said eight Kashmiris, including two women and two children, who had gone to PoK, returned to Srinagar after completing their stay there.
Meanwhile, eight Kashmiri crossed to the other side of the LoC to meet their relatives.
Sources said four PoK residents, including a woman and a child, who had come to Srinagar during earlier bus service, also returned to their homes.
"The bus had left Srinagar at 0700 hrs this morning to avoid any protests and stone pelting," they said.
The bus run was not affected this time despite tense situation on the LoC, where two soldiers were killed and several others were injured when Pakistani troops violated ceasefire and targeted forward posts and civilian targets in Machil and Keran sector during the past four days. |
