Of the 73 passengers, 63 were returnees (residents of Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir who were here for visiting relatives) and 10 Kashmiris.
The travel, which was started in 2005 and takes place on Mondays, remained suspended on July 4 due to Eid celebrations, while on July 11 and 18 it remained suspended due to the ongoing turmoil in the Valley.
