Pak-India trade impacted over LoC tension
ISLAMABAD: Trade of fruits and vegetables between Pakistan and India has been impacted as the tension between the two South Asian neighbours over the Line of Control (LoC) escalates.
Trade between the two countries has completely stopped at the Chakoti border.
On Monday, India violated the ceasefire at the LoC on three occasions by opening unprovoked fire. The Deputy High Commissioner to Pakistan was summoned to the Foreign Office where he has informed of Islamabad’s concern over the repeated ceasefire violations.
The situation between Pakistan and India remains tense after New Delhi accused the Pakistan army of killing five Indian soldiers at the LoC, an allegation which was strongly denied by Islamabad.
Following this, the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi was stormed by supports of the Congress Party’s Youth Wing and the Lahore bound friendship bus was stopped by protestors in Amritsar. PIA offices in Bombay and New Delhi have also received threats by Indian extremist groups.
