India, Pakistan hold flag meet, discuss truce mechanism

New Delhi, March 26

Indian and Pakistani armies held a Brigade Commander-level meeting at Poonch-Rawalkot crossing on Friday as a follow-up to their agreement to observe ceasefire along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir.

Last month, the Indian and Pakistani armies recommitted themselves to the 2003 ceasefire on the LoC. The return to the ceasefire was agreed upon by the Director Generals of Military Operations of the two countries.

"Post the DGMO Understanding, a Brigade Commander-level flag meeting was held between Indian and Pakistan armies at Poonch-Rawalkot Crossing Point to discuss the implementation mechanism as per the understanding," the Army tweeted.

On Thursday, Army Chief Gen MM Naravane said the LoC had been silent for the first time in around five to six years as not a single shot was fired in March barring an odd incident. At the same time, he said the terror infrastructure, including terrorist launch-pads, on the Pakistani side were intact. — PTI
