It was the first time that people from Pakistan Kashmir had crossed into the Indian zone of the region shattered by the October 8 earthquake, said S.D.S Jamwal, police chief of Poonch district. The five entered through the Mendhar-Tatapani crossing point in Poonch, 210 kilometres (130 miles) northwest of Jammu, a police spokesman said on Tuesday. Five others including two children aged seven and four were refused permission to cross because they did not have valid travel documents, the spokesman said. Earlier this month, 42 residents of Indian Kashmir crossed into Pakistani Kashmir in three batches starting November 19. India and Pakistan, who have fought two of their three wars over Kashmir since 1947, agreed to open the border to earthquake relief shipments. The two sides also agreed to let Kashmiris cross the border to check on relatives and help reconstruction efforts, besides seeking medical treatment. But names must be approved in advance. Some 73,000 people were killed in Pakistan and Pakistani Kashmir while 1,300 died on the Indian side in the quake. The two countries began peace talks in January 2004 in an attempt to settle the Kashmir dispute and other issues. Make sure to check out Daily News Digest and keep current with news around the world.
