Pakistani workers (in white shirt) and an Indian worker (L) transfer Indian quake relief goods from an Indian truck to a Pakistani truck after the opening of a crossing point at the Line of Control (LoC) in Gulpur at Poonch, about 250km (155 miles) from the northern Indian city of Jammu, November 7, 2005. Pakistan and India opened one checkpoint of the Loc between Pakistan-administered Kashmir's Titrinote and Indian-administered Kashmiri's Poonch. 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.

Years of frustration over rule by Pakistan and India welled up among Kashmir's earthquake survivors on Monday when they were denied the opportunity to cross the military line dividing the region. Four weeks after a devastating earthquake struck Kashmir, India agreed to open a single point at the heavily militarised LoC to survivors and aid, but bureaucratic delays meant no Kashmiris were actually allowed to cross.
