Naqash said the two sides agreed to have regular monthly meetings to sort out any differences arising during the course of the cross-LoC travel and trade. The deputy commissioner said the two sides also agreed that passengers, who had gone to PoK via Chakan Da Bagh-Rawalkote route, will be allowed to return via Srinagar-Muzaffarabad route on Monday. The cross-LoC trade on the route was suspended in the wake of recovery of huge quantity of narcotic substance worth more than Rs 300 crore from a truck which had arrived from PoK on 21 July. The bus service was suspended on Monday due to some holiday in PoK.
