In a further lessening of tension between the two countries, India said today
it is to allow Pakistan civilian aircraft the right to use its airspace with
immediate effect.India imposed a ban on Pakistan planes flying over its
territory after a suicide attack on the country's Parliament in December last
year. India blamed it on militants whom, it alleged, were backed by
Pakistan.The move is seen as a further lessening of tension between the Asian
neighbors who have been on the brink of war over the disputed territory of
Kashmir.A number of countries have been advising their nationals to leave the
region because of the situation. Last week Japan Airlines announced it was
cancelling one of its weekly flights from Tokyo to New Delhi because of the
uncertain situation.
