--------------------------------------

Both nations agreed last month to open five border crossings in
Kashmir to facilitate aid flow and to allow quake survivors to reunite
with family members





Indian journalists and military officials are seen under a tent during
the opening of the second border crossing between Pakistan and India,
at Chakothi India and Pakistan have opened a third crossing at the
Line of Control that divides Kashmir to provide aid to victims of last
month's devastating earthquake.

Officials from the two countries opened the river crossing Saturday to
allow passage of relief goods in both directions.

Earlier this week India delayed opening the third crossing because it
said the Pakistani army had not completed work on a border bridge. But
Pakistani spokesman disputed the claim, saying his side was ready to
open.

The two nations agreed last month to open five border crossings in
Kashmir to facilitate aid flow and to allow quake survivors to reunite
with family members on the other side.
