JK: Poonch-Rawlakote bus service resumes

Jammu, Sep 8: The suspended bus service from Chakkan-da-Bagh between Poonch and Rawlakote would resume from today, official sources here said.

The service was suspended on August 25 due to the curfew restrictions after communal clashes in Poonch town over Maranath land controversy. Instead of fortnightly, the bus service would now be available weekly for the passengers, sources told the sources.

''The quota of passengers travelling on monthly basis has also been increased to 480 to clear the pending lot, who wanted to travel across the border,'' sources maintained, adding the weekly bus service would now accomodate people, who could not travel to Rawalakote in Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir due to the curfew.
