Indian troops cross LoC, repair Pak bunker
2005-10-12
Srinagar, October 12: In the first incident of its kind, Indian army on Wednesday crossed the Line of Control near Amman Setu to help reconstruct a bunker of Pakistani soldiers at their request, Defence sources said. Pakistani soldiers guarding the Amman Setu (Peace Bridge) on PoK side sought help of their Indian counterparts to reconstruct their bunker which was damaged by the massive earthquake on Saturday, they said. The Indian soldiers crossed the LoC, helped the Pakistanis to reconstruct their bunker and then returned to their positions, they said. The Pakistani request came in view of forecast of heavy snowfall in the region, the sources said adding they wanted to construct shelter in the shortest possible time. Amman Setu connects Jammu and Kashmir and PoK and is used by passengers of Srinagar-Muzaffarabad bus to cross LoC. The bridge was damaged and the Srinagar-Muzaffarabad road rendered unmotorable at many places by the 7.4 magnitude quake.
