After trade, Pak shelling halts trans-LoC bus service



After taking a heavy toll on cross-LoC trade, repeated shelling by Pakistani troops on Indian forward posts in the KG sector has hit another crucial Confidence Building Measure between two nations - the trans-LoC bus service between Poonch and Rawalakote.

The Pakistani authorities today refused to open the gates for the weekly bus -“Carvan-e-Aman”- which was started to facilitate easy to-and-fro travel for divided families of Jammu and Kashmir and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).

“There has been no cross-LoC trade via Chakan-da-Bagh since June 14 and now Poonch-Rawalakote bus service has also run into rough weather,” Abdul Hamid, custodian of the trans-LoC trade and travel told The Tribune.

The Army has been demanding a flag meeting with its Pakistani counterpart to de-escalate the border tension. “Unless it takes place, resumption of trade and travel between the two sides looks remote,” Hamid added.

The travel and trade via Chakan-da-Bagh in Poonch and Salamabad in Uri were started between the two countries in 2005 and 2008, respectively.

“Going by existing circumstances it appears the cross-LoC trade and travel will remain suspended for some more days. We have informed the passengers,” said Hamid.

Jammu-based traders have already suffered a loss of nearly Rs 1 crore due to abrupt suspension of the trade. “No trade took place last week and chances look bleak this week too,” rued president of the Poonch Cross-LoC Traders’ Association Pawan Anand.
