NEW DELHI, Oct 19: India said on Wednesday it had offered to help Pakistan repair telecom networks in earthquake-devastated areas. “Pakistan Foreign Office said that it was grateful for the offer and would revert to us if any specific assistance was required,” the foreign ministry said in a statement.
“Pakistan has told India that nearly 40 per cent of the telecom infrastructure disrupted by the October 8 quake has been restored,” it said. Earlier on Wednesday, Indian Kashmiris made direct phone calls to relatives on the Pakistani side of the divided Kashmir region for the first time in 15 years. —-AFP
