Pertinently, Brown sugar worth over Rs 100 Crores was seized by police from a truck coming from Pakistan Administered Kashmir (PAK) to Uri during cross LoC trade on January 17.

Police had found 114 packets of brown sugar weighing almost a kilogram each, from one of the trucks that came from PaK bearing number RIS-2137 of Al- Fajar Company.

Reports had mentioned that when the truck reached Salamabad Uri check-point, it was routinely checked and the police found large number of mysterious packets in one of the almond bags.

Due to the incident the Cross LoC trade has also been suspended with most of the civil society members and political parties asking the authorities not to make the incident as impediment into the trade that earlier was started as Confidence Building Measure.

Not only the cross LoC trade but also the Srinagar- Muzafarabad bus service was also suspended following the incident.
