SRINAGAR, Feb 17: The trans-Line of Control (LoC) trade between India and Pakistan today resumed after remaining suspended since the recovery of brown sugar from a Pakistani truck at Uri early this month.
A senior official said that 25 trucks laden with bananas crossed into Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) from Uri and 3 trucks carrying oranges and almonds crossed into Uri from PoK.
The trade was resumed a day after the 50 Pakistan and Indian nationals travelled in Karvan-e-Aman bus yesterday.
The trade standoff ended last Thursday after both the sides agreed to allow the 71 stranded trucks to cross the LoC. However, last Friday only 15 trucks with fresh fruit crossed the LoC from Indian side while no truck crossed into Uri from PoK due to protest by truck drivers and the family of the Pakistani driver who was arrested by Police in Uri after brown sugar was recovered from his truck. The trade again remained suspended on last Friday.
