A day after India carried out an artillery attack on terror camps in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, Pakistan on Monday unilaterally stopped postal mail service between the two nations. Slamming the move by Pakistan, India said it was in contravention of international norms.

UnionMinister Ravi Shankar Prasad said Pakistan resorted to the move without givingany prior notice to India. "Pakistan's decision is directly in contravention ofinternational postal union norms. But Pakistan is Pakistan," Prasad, who is theMinister for Communications and IT said.

The ministeradded that Pakistan "without any prior notice or information has stoppedsending postal department's letter to India".
