Despite infiltration attempts, ceasefire holding along LoC in J&K: Army Chief

 Srinagar, Jan 11 (KNS): Army Chief General Manoj Pande on Thursday said that the ceasefire understanding with Pakistan is holding along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir even though there have been infiltration attempts.

Addressing a press conference in New Delhi ahead of Army Day, General Pande said that they are foiling infiltration attempts along the LoC.

He said there has been a drop in overall incidents of violence in Jammu and Kashmir but such incidents have increased in Rajouri-Poonch sector.

“Terror infra continues to thrive across the border. Rajouri-Poonch sector is an area where our adversary is active in abetting terrorism,” he said.

He also said that the situation along the Line of Actual Control in eastern Ladakh is "stable" but "sensitive".

He added that both India and China continue to hold talks at military and diplomatic levels to find a solution to the remaining issues. (KNS)
