PTI, New Delhi
The two-day Indo-Pakistan talks on starting a bus service between Srinagar and Muzaffarabad concluded on Wednesday.

There was no official comment on the discussions between the two sides, but it is learnt that they have agreed to meet later on resuming discussions.

At the discussions on Tuesday, India proposed the use of entry permits along with passports by the passengers.

However, Pakistan did not agree with the proposal and insisted on use of state subject certificate as travel document.

While India favoured use of the bus service by all Indians, Pakistan insisted that it should be exclusively for the Kashmiris from both sides.

The five-member Pakistani delegation was led by Director-General (South Asia) in Foreign Office Jalil Abbas Jilani.
