SRINAGAR : As many as 155 people, including 57 women and 23 children, crossed sides in the Karvaan-e-Aman bus operating between here and Muzaffarabad, the capital of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) today.
However, the number of guests from PoK remained higher against that of the residents of this side visiting other side of the border.
Official sources said that 51 residents of PoK, including 21 women and ten children arrived here to meet their relatives.
They arrived at Aman Setu after crossing the bridge on foot, the last Indian military post on this side.
Also five residents of this side, who had crossed over to PoK returned to their homes.
They said only 12 residents of Kashmir crossed over to PoK to meet their relatives. They included two women and two children.
However, 87 residents of PoK, including 31 women and eleven children, who had come here in previous buses, also returned to their homes.
The weekly bus service was introduced in 2005 to enable the families divided in 1947 to meet each other.
