Cross-LoC trade between J&K and PoK on despite tension

The cross-LoC trade between J&K and PoK continued Wednesday amid the escalating Indo-Pak tension with 50 goods trucks crossing the Line of Control a day after the IAF jet fighters bombed a JeM terror facility at Balakot in Pakistan, said officials.

The cross-LoC trade via Chakan-da-Bagh on Wednesday saw 50 goods laden trucks crossing the LoC, custodian Fareed Kohli of the LoC trade centre at Poonch told PTI.

He said while 34 Indian goods trucks went to PoK, 16 trucks arrived here from the other side.


The cross-LoC trade takes place between the two sides four days a week from Tuesday to Friday. A similar number of goods trucks, 35 Indian and 15 of PoK, had crossed the LoC Tuesday when the weekly trade resumed.
