Pakistan goods cross LoC despite tension

Jammu: For the first time after cross-border trade started in October, Pakistan traders on Thursday moved a truckload of goods for their counterparts in Jammu and Kashmir via Chakan-da-Bagh point, notwithstanding tension between the two countries over Mumbai terror attacks.

“Trader Mohammad Akber of Hajir in Pakistan has sent a truckload of 150 boxes of oranges and 100 boxes of pomegranates besides 252 pairs of special Peshawari sandals to a business firm in Poonch,” district officials here said.

They said that for the first time since October 21, when cross-border trade started through Poonch-Rawalkote road, traders across the borders have exchanged consignments.

The truck with the consignment crossed Chakan- da-Bagh LoC point and arrived at Rangar International Trade Centre at Poonch, they said, adding it would be later handed over to the party in Poonch after checking.

The Indian firm had sent a consignment of 2,200 kg of tomatoes on December 23 as demanded by the Pakistan trader, officials said. — PTI
