| J&K, POK trade resumes | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
SRINAGAR, Jan 18: Cross-border trade between Pakistan occupied Kashmir (POK) and Jammu and Kashmir resumed today after state government promised construction of additional storage facility within month to store goods awaiting security clearance.
Sources said that more than 130 vehicles loaded with spices, dry fruit and handicraft, crossed Aman Setu (Peace Bridge) on Srinagar-Muzaffarabad route at Kaman post. They said that while 72 trucks, mostly carrying red chilies, were exported to Muzaffarabad, over 65 trucks carrying dry fruit from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) entered the Indian state.
Traders had earlier suspended cross-border trade alleging that state government was not paying adequate attention to lack of storage facilities for their goods at Salamabad Trade Facilitation Centre in Uri, Baramullah.
They had claimed that they had suffered losses worth Rs. 7 crores due to rainfall in the last week of December last year, as the goods were kept in the open pending security clearance. Traders agreed to resume trade only after Baramullah District administration promised to get the additional storage facility constructed within one month.
