Srinagar, Dec 10: The number of cross border travellers in the Karvan-e-Aman bus remained low as only six guests arrived here from Pakistan-Occupied-Kashmir (PoK) while 10 from here crossed to other side of the Line of Control (LoC).
Official sources told that six guests, including one child, from PoK arrived here today in the Karvan-e-Aman bus, operating between Srinagar and Muzaffarabad since April 7, 2005.
They said nine residents of the Kashmir valley, who had crossed over to PoK also returned to their homes in the bus after meeting their relatives there. They included four women, who travelled to the other side in previous buses to meet their relatives separated since 1947 partition.
As many as ten residents of this side, including four women and a child also crossed over to PoK to meet their relatives there, they said, adding four PoK residents, including two women also returned to their homes after meeting their relatives here.
The fortnight bus service was started by India and Pakistan in 2005 to enable the divided families, living on both sides of LoC, to meet each other. However, it was made weekly since last year when trade ties between the two divided parts of the Jammu and Kashmir were also resumed after 1947.
