Take steps to ensure peace along LoC: Indian DGMO to Pak counterpart

NEW DELHI: Indian Army’s Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) today asked his Pakistani counterpart to take steps to ensure peace and tranquillity along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir.

During a telephonic conversation, Lt Gen A K Bhatt told his Pakistani counterpart that there appeared to be a “disconnect” between the Pakistan Army’s reiteration about the desire for peace and the action of its troops, official sources said.

Citing various incidents, Bhatt said that Pakistani troops resort to heavy firing without provocation, they said.

The telephonic conversation between the two DGMOs took place following a request by the Pakistani side. (AGENCIES)
