A Pakistani army officer (R) and Indian army officers talk at the Line of Control (LoC) in Titrinote, Poonch in Pakistan-administered Kashmir, about 180 Km (112 miles), east of Islamabad, November 7, 2005. 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.
