Islamabad: Pakistan today (Oct 22, 2005) formally forwarded its proposal to India to open points along the LoC to enable delivery of aid to quake victims on both sides.

Pakistan Foreign Office spokesperson Tasneem Aslam told PTI that the proposals have been handed over to the Indian High Commission.

Pakistan has also proposed official-level talks before the end of this month to discuss and finalise modalities for opening points along the LoC.

She said Pakistan has received India's proposal to hold relief camps along the LoC to enable quake victims on both sides to meet each other.

"We just received India's proposal and we are hoping to hold discussions on that.

Hopefully something will come of it," she said.

Pakistan's announcement came after the Indian Government said it plans to set up, by October 25, three centres on its side of the LoC in Jammu and Kashmir.

The three points are Kaman near Aman Setu in Uri, Tithwal in Tangdhar and Chakan Da Bagh in Poonch.
