Hopes for ending the LoC standoff have brightened after the Indo-Pak officials decided to resume the cross-LoC travel from the next week as a prelude to end the stalemate over the release of 27 Indian truckers detained in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir.
The partial breakthrough was achieved in a meeting between the both sides at the Kaman Post on the Line of Control in Uri sector on Thursday afternoon. District development commissioner of Baramulla Khawaja Ghulam Ahmad was leading the Indian delegation while Pakistan delegation comprised DG trade and travel Mohammad Ismail Khan and commissioner of Muzaffarabad.
Indian officials described the meeting as positive and noted the trade issues and the drivers release was discussed threadbare in the meeting.
