Kashmir: On the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr, the old tradition of exchanging sweets between India and Pakistan was revived. Meetings were held at the Tithwal crossing on Kishanganga River in Tangdhar, Kupwara and Kaman Aman Setu in Uri to exchange sweets and pleasantries.
It has been a tradition to exchange sweets on major festivals like Eid, Holi, Diwali and other National days.
Since the renewed ceasefire agreement, peace has been restored along the Line of Control and has brought the same warmth which was on display on earlier occasions between the two neighbours.
In the last two months there has been an exchange of inadvertently crossed over youths on three occasions at the zero line in Tithwal and it has bode well for the future of both India and Pakistan.
The exchange of sweets and pleasantries was conducted with full adherence to all COVID Protocols by both sides.
