Cross border trade between India and Pakistan remained unaffected in Jammu and Kashmir despite the surgical strikes by the Indian army across the Line of Control (LoC), with 26 trucks crossing over to PoK and 13 from there reaching the Indian side.
As the state administration went into a huddle with army officials discussing possible evacuation of the locals from villages on the border amid heightened tensions between the two countries, trucks carrying goods from India crossed Salamabad check post in Uri on way to PoK.
Similarly, PoK authorities said 13 trucks with goods including embroidery items crossed over into Salamabad from Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir.
After necessary documentation was completed, the cross over of trucks started at 2pm and was completed by 4pm, officials said.
They said Indian trucks carried chilli seeds, embroidery material, cumin seeds and black cardamom, while the trucks from PoK came with almonds, dried dates and mangoes.
Uri, located 102 km north of Srinagar, is one of the last Teshils in Baramulla district of north Kashmir.
