Pak-India ceasefire contributed to feeling of peace: Indian Army Chief

MUMBAI (Dunya News) – Indian Chief of Army Staff General M M Naravane has said that the ceasefire between Indian and Pakistani armies along the Line of Control (LoC) for the last three months has contributed to a feeling of peace and security.

In an interview, MM Naravane said that the ceasefire is the first step towards a long road of normalisation of ties between the two countries. He said there was not a single incident of cross-border firing by the two armies after the pact came into effect.

“Adherence to the ceasefire pact has definitely contributed to the overall feeling of peace and security in the region and boosted prospects of peace after a long spell of flare-ups,” the Indian army chief said.

It is to be mentioned here that Indian and Pakistani armies on February 25, 2021 had announced to cease firing across the LoC recommitting themselves to a 2003 agreement.
