The Government of India on April 18 ordered suspension of cross-Line of Control (LoC) trade with Pakistan from April 19 after the intelligence agencies found the route was being ‘misused’ by some elements from the neighbouring country to smuggle illegal weapons, Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICNs) and drugs into this side, reports Daily Excelsior. An official spokesman said that Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) issued orders to suspend the cross-LoC trade in Jammu and Kashmir, after receiving reports that the cross-LoC trade routes were being misused by the Pakistan based elements for funnelling illegal weapons, narcotics and fake currency. It said the stricter regulatory and enforcement mechanism is being worked out and the issue of the reopening the trade routes will be revisited once they are implemented.
