India said Tuesday it will allow Kashmiris in its part of the divided region to make telephone calls to Pakistan for the next two weeks so families in Himalayan territory can find out what happened to loves ones in the massive South Asian quake.

The quake shattered Kashmir, killing tens of thousands, and the Indian government said in a statement that it would set up four calling centers where people can make direct calls to Pakistan.

New Delhi cut communications between its Jammu-Kashmir state and all of Pakistan in 1990 in an effort to stymie an Islamic insurgency there that it charged was being run from Pakistan, an allegation Islamabad denies. Pakistanis can, however, still make direct calls to Indian Kashmir.
