At last, saner senses prevailed over Pakistan which, for the first time, allowed Indian Army troops on October 12 to cross the Line of Control (LoC) dividing Kashmir between Pakistan and India, to help construct a Pakistani bunker. Ten Pakistani soldiers guarding the Aman Setu, bridging India and Pakistan in Kashmir, sought the help of Indian troops. According to The Times of India, an Indian newspaper, six Indian solders crossed the LoC and returned after rebuilding the bunker.
