Arrangements being made for LoC opening: Pak FO

     Islamabad: Pakistan's Foreign Office has said that it was making the necessary arrangement for opening the five points on the Line of Control (LoC) for relief camps, as had been agreed with India. Foreign Office Spokesperson Tasneem Aslam said that the mechanism for travelling across these points would be the same as adopted for the Muzaffarabad-Srinagar bus service. She said that Pakistan's proposal that any document for identification, for visiting across the LoC, was not agreed by India, reports The News. She however, said that the camps would be a big step for Kashmiris on living on both sides of the LoC to meet each other and share their grief in the wake of the October 8 earthquake.
