Jammu: Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) patron Mufti Mohammad Sayeed Tuesday
reiterated his demand for providing requisite facilities to ensure
hassle-free cross-LoC trade and travel, and hoped that some
concrete steps would be taken in this regard during the
forthcoming Indo-Pak home secretary-level talks.
Mufti said that the opening of cross line of control (LoC) trade
was the most significant confidence building measure (CBM) that
needed to be further facilitated for peace and prosperity in the
region.
"I hope that home secretaries of India and Pakistan in their
scheduled meeting on May 24 and 25 (in Islamabad) would take some
bold steps to further facilitate the cross-LoC trade and travel,"
he said.
He said restrictions imposed on free movement of people and
commodities had only deprived the region of the vast potential of
economic activities that could have changed socio-economic
conditions of the people.
Addressing a public meeting at Gool, about 180 km from Jammu,
Mufti stressed the need for credible banking facilities and proper
communication system to harness the full potential of the trans-LoC
trade. "Besides simplifying the cross LoC trade procedure, there
should be free movement of people on both sides of LoC."
