NEW DELHI: Almost 24 hours after it was suggested Pakistan was yet to respond to Indian recommendation for a brigadier-level flag meeting along the line of control (LoC), even as Army sources said there has been no major ceasefire violation since Thursday night.
According to Army sources, until Saturday evening Pakistan had not responded to the Indian suggestion that both sides hold a flag meeting of the brigade commanders in Poonch sector. India had on Friday morning suggested the meeting.
Sources said that since Thursday night no major ceasefire violations have occurred along the entire LoC and Siachen glacier. They said there may have been some sporadic small arm firings "but no substantial incidents have happened".
However, there is palpable tension all along the entire LoC, with the Indian troops being on an alert for any ceasefire violations.
General VK Singh has also asked the government to harden its stand on the brutality committed on the two soldiers, as it was a violation of the Geneva Convention. "The government should harden its stand on the hostility shown by Pakistani forces which claimed lives of two jawans. The killing was against humanity and indeed a violation of Geneva convention," Gen Singh said in Nagpur.
