Poonch, Jammu and Kashmir: A commander-level meeting between India and Pakistan took place in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district on Wednesday. The two countries discussed instances of ceasefire violations and cross-border firing along the Line of Control (LOC).
The meeting comes a day after the BJP pulled out from its alliance with the PDP, which led to Mehbooba Mufti resigning as the chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir. The state is currently under Governor's rule.
But the announcement of non-initiation of combat operations (NICO) did not stop cross-border firing and ceasefire violations along the LOC and sporadic incidents of terrorists striking security forces continued.
These incidents drew huge outrage in the Valley with many labeling the instances as acts of cowardice.
