Officials had held four rounds of talks at Kaman Post to break the deadlock, but Pakistan insisting on release of the driver remained a sticky issue. It is, however, not clear whether the arrested Pakistani driver will be released. After the arrest, trade across the LoC was suspended from Uri and Poonch. Officials of Trade Facilitation Centre Salamabad on Monday received a communication from the External Affairs Ministry directing to send 48 Pakistani drivers along with trucks stuck in Uri, through the Kaman post. It also sought return of 27 Kashmiri drivers stuck in Pok.
