Srinagar, Nov 20 (IANS): The weekly Karvan-e-Aman peace bus service left Srinagar on Monday carrying Muzaffarabad-bound passengers.
"The exact number of passengers crossing the Line of Control (LoC) for Muzaffarabad would be confirmed only after more people board the bus at the Salamabad trade and travel facilitation centre near the Uri town," an official said here.
he Karvan-e-Aman bus service was started in 2005 to facilitate re-union between members of divided families living across the Line of Control (LoC) in the Indian and Pakistan-administered parts of Kashmir.
Travellers from both sides reach the 'Aman Setu' on the LoC in Uri sector and then cross the bridge on foot. They then board buses for Srinagar and Muzaffarabad.
