Poonch, Feb 23 (ANI): As many as eight civilians crossed the border between India and Pakistan in a weekly peace bus service that runs from Poonch city to Pakistan's Rawalakot town. The passengers, who were able to cross the line of control to meet their families, thanked the Indian Government for early clearance of their permits. Passengers alleged that the Pakistani government's process in clearing the visa obstructed Indians from crossing the border. Locals need special permits issued after verification procedures from both sides to travel from Poonch to Rawalakot.
