Pakistan on Tuesday, as a goodwill gesture and continuation of efforts to maintain peace and tranquility along the Line of Control (LoC), handed over a woman to Indian authorities, who inadvertently crossed the LoC.
According to Inter-Services Public Relations, “As a gesture of goodwill and in continuation of Pakistan Army’s efforts to maintain peace and tranquility along Line of Control (LOC), Azmat Jan, wife of Muhammad Shakeel of ‘Degwar Maldialan’ (IoK), who inadvertently crossed the LoC at Chirikot Sector, has been returned to IoK today at Rawalakot-Poonch crossing point on humanitarian grounds.”
The ISPR said the civil and military officials of both sides were present on the occasion. In January, Pakistan had also returned one Indian soldier, who crossed the LoC as a “goodwill gesture.”
Pakistan had handed over an Indian soldier, Chandu Babulal Chohan, to Indian authorities through Wagah border, the Foreign Office had said in a statement.
