Pakistan Prime Minister Malik Firoze Khan Noon is understood to have addressed a communication to Prime Minister Nehru on the recent border shooting at Amruka on the West Pakistan-Punjab border, renewing Pakistan’s desire to end these disputes and live in amity with India. Reliable Pakistan sources said Mr. Noon has sent a copy of the report submitted by the Deputy Commissioner of Montgomery after an enquiry into the incident.
