SRINAGAR: An official on Monday said India and Pakistan have resumed a bus service in the disputed region of Kashmir near the area where their armies recently engaged in deadly skirmishes.
Kashmir's home secretary Suresh Kumar said nearly 120 passengers from both sides of Kashmir crossed the transit point in the Poonch region on Monday.
The bus service as well as trade between Indian and Pakistani controlled portions of Kashmir in Poonch was suspended on January 10 following the worst LoC violence in a decade.
However, another similar bus service at a different frontier crossing had continued unhindered.
Three Pakistani and two Indian soldiers were killed in the recent fighting. Both countries accused each other of starting the violence.
Kumar said trade between the two sides will also resume starting Tuesday.
