The Conciliation Resources (UK) with support of its regional advisers and partner organisations -Indus Research Foundation, Jammu and Centre for Peace, Development and Reforms, Mirpur -has assisted the Cross-LoC traders in Jammu and Kashmir to organise a Joint Federation, the list of whose members is given below.
The formation of the Federation of Cross-LoC traders is a follow up to the Istanbul Agreement of November 2011 on formation of Joint Chamber. It was agreed in the Istanbul Agreement, facilitated by the Conciliation Resources, that there shall be a Federation of Cross-LoC traders to become a constituent part of the Joint Chamber.
Though Joint Chamber got interim representation from the Cross-LoC traders drawn from all four trading points on both sides of Line of Control totaling eight members, but coming up of traders from all points as a single organization was a challenge in terms of time and logistical. With support of local leaders of the traders under coordination of Pawan Anand, the IRF and CPDR led the process to get the nominations to the Federation through consultations as elections were not possible for lack of travel access across the Line of Control.
The Federation of Cross-LoC Traders, therefore, is initially comprised of 60 members -15 each from all trading points on both sides of the Line of Control. The Federation is open for expansion and more members shall be added when the traders have the opportunity of meeting on the Zero Line as per the agreed Standard Operating Procedures.
