Indian PM set to flag off Kashmir bus
www.chinaview.cn 2005-04-07 13:36:32

    NEW DELHI, April 7 (Xinhuanet) -- Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is set to fly into Srinagar, Indian-administered Kashmir capital, on Thursday morning to inaugurate a historic Kashmir bus service, just a day after a brazen terrorist attack sought to derail it.

    "The peace process and the bus will go on," the prime minister said on Wednesday after militants attacked Srinagar's tourist Reception Center where the bus passengers had been lodged.

    On Thursday, police and paramilitary personnel and soldiers strengthened security in Srinagar to prevent any recurrence of Wednesday's attack on a tourist complex again.

    Home Minister Shivraj Patil and External Affairs Minister Natwar Singh will accompany the prime minister to Srinagar on Thursday.

    The bus link was agreed in mid-February by the foreign ministers of the two countries. The Srinagar-Muzaffarabad bus will link the divided halves of Kashmir for the first time in nearly six decades. Enditem
