Not even a single Indian visitor crossed over to PoK on cross LoC Poonch Rawlakote bus service on the second consecutive week today. However, over 30 visitors from there reached India by the cross LoC bus service.

Reliable sources in the district administration who manage the crossing over on the Indian side in Poonch district at the cross LoC point of Chakkan Da Bagh here said the internal political uncertainty in Pakistan had hit the government machinery badly in Pakistan as well as PoK.

Because of the near complete failure of the government machinery in that country, the authorities dealing with giving clearance to aspiring Indian visitors could give the requisite permission.

A local intelligence source claimed that since the passport office at Srinagar did not get the list of the aspiring visitors okayed by the PoK authorities, not even single Indian visitor could go on the cross LoC Poonch Rawlakote bus service for the second consecutive week in a row.

Meanwhile, over 60 passengers from both sides crossed sides at Chakkan Da Bagh cross LoC terminal on the Poonch Rawlakote road.

Among the PoK visitors to Indian side was Hakim Bi whose brother Hakim Din died a day before he could have met his sister who got separated from him during partition.
