Pakistani soldiers prepare for open the Pakistan and India border at crossing point Titrinote in Punch, Pakistan , Sunday, Nov. 6, 2005. It is unlikely any civilians will be allowed to cross the Kashmir frontier between India and Pakistan on schedule because of procedural glitches, the Foreign Ministry said Sunday, a day ahead of a much-anticipated opening of the frontier. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Tasnim Aslam told The Associated Press that neither country had sent the other lists of people approved to cross over as part of an agreement between the South Asian rivals to ease the flow of aid after the region's massive Oct. 8 quake.

Kashmiri earthquake survivors cross a damaged bridge caused by October 8 earthquake in Gharidupatta Jehlum Valley, northern Pakistan November 6, 2005. Pakistan said on Sunday preparations were complete for opening border crossing points with India, but New Delhi said it was ready to open only one of five points to help survivors of last month's quake. The Pakistani proposal to open five points on the old rivals' disputed border in Kashmir appears more of a symbolic gesture of friendship, rather than something that will make a big difference for efforts to bring relief to survivors.
