Description

"Long damaged road bridge connecting Domel, Pakistan side of Cease Fire Line (CFL) to Baramula on the Indian side of the CFL. United Nations (UN) Field Stations were established in both of these towns and this bridge at the UN Check Point at Chakothi was now a footbridge for UN personnel only, crossing the CFL to change-over duties between UN Field Stations and exchange mail. This photo was taken from the Indian side of the CFL; the high ground opposite is Pakistan held territory." This image is from the collection of Captain Barrie Newman, Australian Army, serving in the State of Jammu and Kashmir with the United Nations Military Observer Group India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP).
