The Indian Army has opened its very own cafe at the Line of Control (LoC). This cafe is all set to serve visitors who come to see the Kaman Aman Setu, which is the endpoint of India’s forward post. This cafe is open not only to the people residing in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir but also to visitors from other parts of the country.
“We have opened the coffee shop for everyone visiting the Kaman Post for motivational purposes for the people of Jammu and Kashmir, after having a selfie at the bridge, people can come and have snacks here and they can take home several souvenirs to take along with them. A sixty feet national flag flutters at the LoC”, said Vishal Dev, Major Indian Army.
This venture would not have been possible a couple of years ago, thanks to Pakistan’s constant ceasefire violations. But, after an agreement was established between these two countries, the cafe has been established at Uri and is now open to the public.
Speaking about this, Qazi Ahmad, a local resident said, “After the division of the two countries, people who were related, friends became distant. When both the countries worked on improving the relations. All the distance was completely finished when these steps were taken. A coffee shop has been opened and it’s to grow the relationships between people and army. The way army has won hearts of people here is worth appreciating.”
