| Bhushan Bazar called upon both India, Pakistan to ease restrictions on travel | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU , Feb 5 : Chairman of Jammu and Kashmir Democratic Forum (JKDF) Pandit Bhushan Bazaz called upon both India and Pakistan to ease restrictions on travel between Srinagar - Muzaffarbad and Poonch-Rawlakote so as to provide relief to thousands of divided families on both sides of border.
After three weeks tour of Jammu province, Pandit Bazaz stated this while interacting with media persons here today. He observe that much hyped opening of road links between India and Pakistan has been rendered meaningless owing to the complicated system and travel formalities.
If the latest statistics, he said, is any indication to this direction, the use of the road links has been limited to fewer than 400 persons on each side of the line of control (LoC).
"This speaks volume about the restrictions and strict formalities which the cross-border travel aspirants have been burdened with", he added.
Recalling the pledge by Prime Minister (PM) Manmohan Singh in May 2006 that an atmosphere of free trade and free movement with soft borders will be created, Pandit leader said that despite the fanfare associated with the bus travel, people feel the formalities ton undertake the travel are very tedious.
"I urge both India and Pakistan to ease travel restrictions and formalities so that the people can be benefited at large", he said adding that the people of both countries should come closer to understand each other so that atmosphere of peace, goodwill and confidence could be created. |
