Srinagar, July 25: Pakistan Administered Kashmir government on Monday suspended the cross-LoC trade along the Srinagar-Muzaffarabad route.
Sources said that the authorities in PaK have sent a letter to authorities on this side of the LoC saying the trade will remain suspended for this week.
They said no reasons were given for suspending the trade, which takes place from Tuesday to Friday every week between the traders of Jammu and Kashmir and PaK.
The decision to suspend the trade comes four days after Mohammad Yoususf Shah, a driver from Chakoti in PaK, was arrested following recovery of 66.5 kilograms of heroin and brown sugar, worth over Rs 300 crore, from his vehicle.
