Chinari (PoK) Security personnel deployed in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) on Sunday stopped Jammu & Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) activists from marching towards the Line of Control (LoC) in a bid to cross over to “unite Kashmir”.
The JKLF activists were stopped near a place called Jiskool on the Muzaffarabad-Srinagar highway, reports said.
Hundreds of JKLF activists and supporters from various places in PoK had been marching towards LoC for the past three days. On Saturday, they walked 20 km to reach Garhi Dupatta and on Sunday afternoon, reached Chinari, around 50 km away from Muzaffarabad, to a welcome by local residents.
Their plan was to reach Chakothi, three km from the LoC.
However, a large number of police personnel had been deployed between Chinari and Chakothi to stop them, and had blocked the highway with electric poles, barbed wire fences, mud piles and even containers.
Jiskool is located two km ahead on Chinari.
