ISLAMABAD: The Director General Military Operations (DGMO) of Pakistan will meet his Indian counterpart on December 24 to discuss increased incidents of Line of Control (LoC) violations, Express News reported Tuesday.

According to the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR), the invitation for the meeting was sent by the Pakistani DGMO to his Indian counterpart.

On November 15, Prime Minister’s advisor on National Security and Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz had said that meetings between DGMOs and security advisors from both sides would take place soon to resolve border tensions.

Speaking about why a meeting between DGMOs on both sides was yet to happen, long after the Pakistani premier had suggested it to his Indian counterpart in New York, Aziz had said that the commanders regularly talk on the hot line they might have felt that it is unnecessary to meet.

Since the beginning of the year, Delhi and Islamabad have regularly accused each other of violating the ceasefire.

In September, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had met in New York and agreed to maintain peace on the border.
