London Mirpur in Jammu and Kashmir will now be directly linked by road with the United Kingdom through a direct bus service, says a report.

A new 4,000-mile bus route connecting the city Birmingham, will pass through seven countries, including Iran, before finally reaching its destination, also known as ‘Little Birmingham’.

Passengers embarking on the epic 12-day journey are likely to be charged 130 pounds for a ticket, the Daily Mirror reports.

The service is definitely a good news for the people of Birmingham, which is home to the world’s largest population of Kashmiri expats.

According to the report, security concerns have, however, been raised about the route, which will stop over at Quetta, Pakistan.

Top Taliban commanders are said to be hiding in the volatile city, near the Afghan border.

TIME IS POSSIBLY NOT RIGHT by Dr.M.M.HAZARIKA PhD on 24 Sep 2012

Even though LOVE is much more powerful to approach by any with an ill will in mind to disturb an arrangement;we are entering into such a phase where no LAW govern nothing; other than our engaging in doing of a action purely for self gain either to get a relief from the burden of running one's life to avoid constantly facing regular UP & DOWNS that accompanied while covering one's life or to secure a power through doing of a trick;we believe that it is not the exact time to implement this great IDEA but we might possibly able to translate this most beautiful dream into reality soon provided we become successful in our various approaches in making the ORDER correct again.
