Foreign Office Spokesperson Aisha Farooqui has reiterated Pakistan's call to the Indian government for lifting the communication blackout from the Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir in view of the growing number of coronavirus patients in the territory.

In her weekly press briefing, she said Indian government is depriving Kashmiri people of critical information and supplies of medical items critically needed to effectively contain COVID-19 pandemic.

She demanded that the medical teams and supplies be allowed to reach the people of occupied Kashmir.

Meanwhile, two children, including a seven-month baby, have tested positive for Covid-19 in the Occupied Kashmir, taking the number of cases in the territory to 13.
