Guns & mortars silent at LoC for 100 days, but no commitment from Pakistan to end terror

The LoC had been on edge since the beginning of 2019, when India carried out air strikes on a terror camp in Balakot. Two years later, launch pads in PoK are far from dormant.

Hundred days at the Line of Control (LoC) have passed without a bullet being fired between Indian and Pakistani forces, bringing in a sense of calm for civilians. But the terror infrastructure in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir are far from being dormant, despite the dip in skirmishes between the two armies. A flurry of intelligence inputs continues to pour in about terrorist activities in their hideouts close to the LoC in areas under control of the Pakistan Army. Over the last one month as the guns fell silent, terrorist training camps were active and groups, possibly for infiltration, gathered across the LoC, sources said.
