A trader “exports” an item worth a certain amount across the Line of Control and his counterpart there sends back goods worth an equal amount.

Turkie added that the traders’ union also demand from the government that State Road Transport Corporation trucks should be provided for the cross-LoC trade. In 2014 and 2015, the cross-LoC trade was suspended for several weeks following the recovery of narcotics from some trucks arriving from Muzzafarabad.
