India, Pak repatriate boys cross over boundaries in Poonch

Jammu, Jan 8 (UNI) India and Pakistan Armies on Friday repatriated young boys who had inadvertently crossed over boundaries in Poonch district.
Defence spokesman here said that on December 31, 2020, Master Ali Haider, 14, from Mirpur District of Pakistan Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (POJK) had inadvertently crossed over to India in the Poonch District of Jammu and Kashmir.
“The boy seemed innocent and was immediately provided with clothing, food and shelter,” he added and said that on January 3, a request was made to Pakistan Authorities to repatriate him on humanitarian grounds.
“Pakistan Authorities were also reminded of our earlier request to repatriate an Indian boy named Mohammed Bashir who had inadvertently crossed over to Pakistan from the Poonch Sector on December 24, 2020,” he said adding that Pak Authorities finally accepted the proposal on January 6, 2021.
“With the support of J&K Police and Civil administration, Ali Haider was repatriated to Pakistan via Poonch Rawalakot Crossing Point. Pakistan Authorities also handed over Mohammed Bashir after 16 days of staying in Pakistan custody,” he asserted.
