The ban has followed joint efforts by authorities of Jammu and Kashmir and PoK to weed out any illegal activity on cross LoC trade routes, the officials said.

The action comes more than two weeks after police recovered 66.5 kilogram of heroin and brown sugar from Pampore LOC trader Tajamul Masoodi, a truck coming from PoK at Salamabad trade facilitation centre on July 21.
