He said it was agreed that five crossing points along the LoC will be opened on November 7 and Pakistan Army was ready and had made arrangements in this regard.
However, the ISPR DG said only one point along the LoC was opened, as preparation from other side was not completed.
Shaukat Sultan said Rawalakot-Poonch and Chakothi points have been opened along the LoC to permit quake-hit Kashmiris from both the sides to cross over, help each other and share their sorrow.
Preparations from the Pakistani side to open remaining two crossing points along the LoC were completed, he added. However, he said other side is still not ready to open remaining two crossing points.
To a question, he said, Kaghan Valley road from Balakot to Naran and Kaghan has been reopened for light traffic.
He said it was critics' view that Kaghan Valley road cannot be reopened for many months. He said credit for it goes to Pakistan Army engineers who reopened the roads within a short time.
He said that on Wednesday morning Vice Chief of Army Staff General Ahsan Saleem Hayat visited the roads. Shaukat Sultan said the Vice Chief of Staff met Pakistan Army engineers and appreciated them on their hard work. He also walked on the opened road and met local people.
Shaukat said that Muzaffarabad-Chakothi road has also been reopened. However, he said one-and-a-half kilometre road is still closed due to landsliding. He expressed the hope that it will be reopened within few days.
He appealed to the international community to provide warm cloths and food items for earthquake-affected people.
