This understanding aimed at the cessation of firing and military action along the International Border and the Line of Control (LoC).
During a special briefing, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri stated, “This is a breach of the understanding reached earlier today, and India takes very serious note of these violations.” Misri emphasized that India’s Armed Forces have been instructed to respond strongly to any further breaches along the International Border and LoC.
“For the last few hours, there have been repeated violations of the understanding arrived at earlier this evening between the DGMOs of India and Pakistan. The armed forces are giving an adequate and appropriate response to these violations,” Misri added.
India has called upon Pakistan to take immediate and appropriate measures to address these violations and handle the situation responsibly, while maintaining a strong vigil along the border. (ANI)
