Laiba Zabair, 17, and Sana Zabair, 13
Army troops on Monday repatriated two girls from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir who inadvertently crossed to the indian side from across the Line of Control in the Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir.
Identified as Laiba Zabair, 17, and Sana Zabair, 13, both residents of Abbasspur village in Forward Kahuta tehsil, had entered Poonch on Sunday morning. Both girls were repatriated from the Chakan Da Bagh crossing in Poonch, said Lt. Col. Devender Anand, PRO of the Army.
Before returning home, Laiba Zabair said that they were captured by army troops shortly after they inadvertently arrived on this side.
“They (the army) treated us well, provided us with food and shelter and made efforts for their early return to the place of origin,” he said. “Today they are sending us back … the people on this side (of the border) are very good,” he added.
