India and Pakistan on Wednesday agreed to release trucks detained in their respective territories, ending a three week standoff triggered by seizure of a truck in Jammu and Kashmir coming from across the border for allegedly carrying brown sugar worth Rs100 crore.
The matter was taken by with the Pakistani authorities after the talks between administration of PoK and deputy commissioner of Baramulla failed to resolve it.
Finally, after intense negotiations between the two sides at diplomatic and other levels, the deadlock ended with an agreement that the detained trucks will cross back to their respective territories.
However, resumption of cross-LoC trade, which was suspended on 17 January, remains uncertain.
On 17 January, Jammu and Kashmir police arrested a truck driver from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and seized his vehicle on the ground that it was ferrying contraband worth Rs100 crore.
