He said 116 passengers boarded the bus bound for Muzaffarabad, the capital of PoK, this morning. The trade on the Srinagar-Muzaffarabad road was suspended two weeks ago following recovery of 66.5 kg of heroin and brown sugar valued at over Rs 300 crore from a truck coming from PoK on July 21. The impasse was resolved at a meeting between officials of two sides held at Kaman Post last week.
