MUZAFFARABAD:
After a 13-day suspension, the cross-Line of Control (LoC) Muzaffarabad-Srinagar bus service will resume its operation from today onwards (Monday).
The alleged recovery of narcotics in a truck from Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) in Indian administered Kashmir on February 3 was the main reason for the suspension.
The Indian authorities had arrested the driver Syed Inyat Hussain Shah along with the truck and refused to send him back to the AJK.
The traders, truck drivers and family members of the arrested driver were on strike in Ghari Dupatta, some 25 kilometres from Muzaffarabad. The protesters were demanding the release of the driver from the Indian administered Kashmir and had threatened to stop the cross-LoC movement of buses and trucks.
