POONCH (J&K): The Pakistani army on Thursday refused to allow trucks from India carrying goods at cross-Line of Control trade point in Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir, in the backdrop of tension in bilateral relations following ceasefire violations which killed 2 Indian troops.
25 trucks carrying goods, mostly vegetables, from India were not allowed to cross the LoC and enter ****************** Kashmir at Chakan-Da-Bagh, officials of the trade facilitation center (TFC) at Poonch said.
As the trucks carrying goods for *** traders reached Chakan-Da-Bagh crossing point to enter the trade center at Rawalakote (***) after clearance at TFC, the Pakistan army did not open the gates and conveyed this to Indian Army authorities at the point.
With the stranding of 25 trucks, a total of 65 trucks are now lined up waiting to move into *** from Chakan-Da-Bagh crossing point. Most of these trucks are carrying perishable goods, particularly vegetables.
Two Indian jawans were brutally killed in a raid by 29 Baloch Regiment troops of Pakistan who had intruded into Indian territory in Poonch sector on January 8.
This is the second time LoC trade has come a halt after the Pakistan Army refused to open the gates during the past 8 months.
LoC trade had come to a halt on June 14 last year due to closure of gates at Chakan-da-Bagh border point following heavy LoC firing, shelling and ceasefire violations since June 11 last year in which 2 Indian jawans were killed and 4 injured.
