Pakistani vehicles unload their goods at the trade facilitation centre in the border area near Uri on January 12, 2013 in Salamabad, 120 km (75 miles) northwest of Srinagar, the summer capital of Indian Administered Kashshmir, India. People living in the mountainous region along the Line of Control (LOC), a military line that divides Indian-administered Kashmir from the Pakistan-administered Kashmir have continually been at risk due to hostility between the armies of the two rival nations, but trade has been carried out smoothly across the Line of Control in North Kashmir.
