Jammu: In a bid to strengthen the ceasefire agreement, the Indian Army on Saturday returned a cow and a bull from Bijiledar village in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir to the Chaktori-Uri crossing point. "By sending back cattle, the Indian Army has conveyed its commitment to peace and harmony along the Line of Control through its constant efforts and display of human values," the Army said in a statement.
The animals had come from Bijiledar village in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir to Jabri village in Kanah tehsil in May, the Army said. "India's active approach and commitment have resulted in successful repatriation that reflects India's human values," the Army said. The repatriation ceremony was held in the presence of civil administration officials of Kanah and Uri tehsils. The persons from Bijildar village in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir praised the Indian army's humanitarian decision to send back their cow and a bull.
The Army said that after the animals were returned, Pakistan also returned a Pony to India which had accidentally gone to the border of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. In the last five months, Indian Fars has made several efforts to maintain the ceasefire agreement with full commitment.
