Cross border trade suspended in Poonch as 'precautionary measure'

The cross border trade through Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district remained on a standstill due to the continuous ceasefire violation by Pakistan. The custodian of the cross LoC trade, Tanveer Ahmed, said that Poonch-Rawalakot cross trade has been kept suspended for the last three-and-a-half months and total loss is above Rs. 80 crore. The cross-LoC trade service has been suspended as a "precautionary measure".
