Army Director General Military Operations (DGMO) Lt Gen AK Bhat spoke to his Pakistani counterpart on Thursday morning and expressed concern over the “movement of terrorists along the Line of Control (LoC)”-- the 749 km de facto Indo-Pak border in Jammu and Kashmir.

On September 29 India had carried out strikes across the LoC on terrorist launch pads.

The Pakistan DGMO was also informed about the repatriation of two Pakistani nationals apprehended in Uri, Kashmir. The individuals will be repatriated through the Wagah border on March 10.

These youths had accidentally crossed over to India fearing repression from within Pakistan after they had allegedly teased the daughter of a local man there.
