India-held Kashmir woman repatriated after two years
MUZAFFARABAD: Pakistani authorities on Thursday repatriated a woman to India-held Kashmir (IHK), two years after she had strayed into the territory of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK).
Shakeela Bano, resident of Achlanga in tehsil Uri in India-held Kashmir, was sent back through Chakothi-Uri crossing point at the Line of Control (LoC), some 60 kilometres south of here in Hattian Bala district.
An ISPR official said Bano had entered the AJK territory from Bhedi in district Haveli, and lived in the neighbouring district Bagh with her uncle, who is a refugee from across the LoC.
