18 cross sides on LoC via Uri

Srinagar: Eight fresh visitors from this part of the Kashmir were among 18 persons who crossed over to Line of Control through Karvan-e-Aman bus service, plying on weekly basis across the divided parts of Kashmir.
Official sources told KMW said that four first-time visitors from Pakistan administered Kashmir arrived here to meet their relatives first time after separation during the Indo-Pak partition in 1947.
