ISLAMABAD, Oct 18: The devastating October 8 earthquake has forced Pakistan and India to postpone talks on Lahore-Amritsar bus service, which were to be held on October 25-26 in Islamabad.

Pakistan has asked India to postpone the scheduled talks in the backdrop of earthquake devastations as its entire state machinery is busy in relief work in quake-hit areas. India has agreed and called off the talks.
