SRINAGAR, Nov 28:
As many as 13 residents of Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) arrived here while five Kashmiri people crossed over to other side of the Line of Control (LoC) in Karwan-e-Aman bus, operating between Srinagar and Muzaffarabad.
Meanwhile, 13 returnees also crossed the sides at Kaman Post, the last Indian military post on this side of the LoC in Uri sector. The bus run continued despite tense situation on the Line of Control (LoC) in the frontier district of Kupwara and Bandipora besides in Jammu region last week. However, the guns are silent for the past 48 hours in both the regions.

They said the weekly peace bus left Srinagar at 0700 hrs and reached LoC at around 0900 hrs for security reasons to avoid any stone pelting and protests due to strike, called by separatists. (UNI)
