SRINAGAR: The cross-Line of Control trade and travel on the

Srinagar-Muzaffarabad route

, which was suspended on July 21, will resume from Monday following a meeting between authorities from Jammu and Kashmir and PoK at Kaman Post in Baramulla district on Thursday.

The travel on the weekly bus service will resume from Monday, while the trade will resume from Tuesday, Deputy Commissioner, Baramulla, Nasir Ahmad Naqash told PTI.

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 July 21.

The bus service was suspended on Monday due to some holiday in PoK.

India and Pakistan, both need leadership larger than life. Pakistan has its future tied with its guidance with the good God in His heavens. India''s future is tied in a golden splice with China. India very weak and finds it derailed with its negative thinking with all its neighbours. This is only one side of its lack of leadership. Don''t be misled from China''s Communism. Its strength lies with its economic statesmanship. Remember its hard liner Deng Xio Ping taking a bold step and saying "getting rich is glorious." China has been a trading nation. Look at the Shanghai''s immigrants fled to Taiwan. They were traders. The US gave Taiwan two billion dollars in economic aid. These immigrant created 70 Export Processing Zones and in a decade made Taiwan an Asian Tiger. Chinese traders set an example with austerity in the formative years and wisely invested three trillion dollars in American Treasury Bills. America might soon look for Chinese investment. It has now a reserve of around 4 trillion dollars. India''s trading community needs similar playing field in trade and commerce. They would have grabbed China''s investment and employed Taiwanese expertise for setting up 100 export processing zones. India is blind in its future with Pakistan as a gateway to central Asia. You are imitating China with an empty treasury. The stupid Modi is wasting billions on armaments that would become junk without use. China will made Indians coolies in tapping the resources of its big territories on the border line. There is a saying: "When you can''t beat "wm, join "wm." China will never start a war. Look how adroitly it is handling its policy towards Taiwan and Hong Kong. Hong Kong would become a ghost city without China making it world''s biggest transshipment port. Pakistan after reforms would become a most friendly neighbour to India. Let us sit together and create strong independent Think Tanks as forum for mutual contacts.
