“Trucks carrying merchandise from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) today reached the Chakan da Bagh Trade Centre. Indian traders would be sending 25 truckloads of merchandise to their PoK counterparts tomorrow,” said Pawan Anand, president of the Chakan da Bagh Cross-LoC Traders’ Association.
To bring an end to the impasse and ensure resumption of the cross-border trade, the Poonch district administration had to reinstate Dewan Traders till March 31.
Poonch-based Dewan Traders was blacklisted early in February after three empty AK cartridges were found in his consignment sent by his PoK counterpart.
Consequently, the Indian traders went on an undeclared strike since February 26 that caused them a loss of Rs 6 crore.
The traders had a meeting with Poonch Deputy Commissioner AK Sahu on March 11 wherein Abdul Gani Dewan, proprietor of Dewan Traders, was reinstated till March 31 so that he could settle his accounts with his PoK counterpart.
Anand said, in the meeting with Sahu, who is also the nodal officer of the trans-LoC trade, “we urged him that Indian traders should not be held responsible for the contraband sent from PoK to this side.”
Anand said the Poonch Deputy Commissioner had also agreed to increase the number of vehicles to 50 trucks per trading day on the pattern of the Salamabad Trade Centre in Uri.
The Poonch Deputy Commissioner said traders didn’t project any other demand but requested him to reinstate the blacklisted trader till inquiry against him was completed.
“I considered their request and reinstated the blacklisted trader till March 31. National security is our top concern and it would be maintained at any cost,” said Sahu.
