MUZAFFARABAD: A train use between dual halves of a Himalayan state of Kashmir resumed on Monday after a interregnum of 4 months – most to a fun of divided families.
The train use between Rawalakot, in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), and Poonch, in Indian Occupied Kashmir (IOK), was dangling due to skirmishes between Pakistani and Indian limit guards on a Line of Control (LoC).
“The Rawalakot-Poonch cross-LoC train use resumed on Monday,” Colonel (retd) Shahid, a transport and trade facilitation officer (TTFO), reliable to The Express Tribune.

“Twenty passengers from Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) boarded a train to see their families in IOK, though a lapse run of a train didn’t move any newcomer into Azad Kashmir,” he added.
Travel and Trade Authority (TATA) central Sardar Nayeem and other district administration officials saw off a bus.
The cross-LoC Rawalkot-Poonch train use was dangling on Jul 10 following steady ceasefire violations by Indian infantry who shelled municipal race in AJK.
“Since afterwards no train had crossed a LoC,” Col (retd) Shahid said.
