The ‘Karvan-e-Aman’ bus, operating between Srinagar and Muzaffarabad, capital of Pakistan-administered Kashmir (PaK), will not run Monday due to tense situation on the Line of Control (LoC).
This is for the second consecutive week, when the peace bus, a major Confidence Building Measure (CBM) introduced on April 7, 2005 by India and Pakistan, will not operate, much to the disappointment of passengers, who were scheduled to travel to meet their relatives, separated in 1947.
Last week, the bus could not operate due to ‘Youm-e-Tahsees (Pakistan celebrates October 24 as establishment of PaK, every year)’ in PaK.
Official sources said that the bus will not operate today, as per order received by the Government. However, there was no mention why it has been cancelled.
Sources said the bus has been cancelled due to tense situation on the LoC.
