India and Pakistan aim for peace along LoC, with New Delhi being ‘cautiously optimistic’. There will, however, not be any let-up in anti-infiltration and anti-terror operations.
The handover of the girls, who were given gifts and sweets by the Army, took place at the CDB point in presence of civilian and military officials of Pakistan.
The two girls, residents of PoK's Kahuta, had inadvertently moved into the Indian side. Defence spokesperson says efforts are on for their early repatriation.
Six civilians lost their lives, while four security forces personnel were injured in the firing by Pakistan during multiple ceasefire violations between Gurez and Uri sectors in J&K.
The DJI Mavic 2 Pro drone, fitted with cameras, was spotted by the alert troops in the Keran sector. The drone was seized and further investigation is on.
Special emphasis has been laid on ensuring there are no civilian casualties during the operations since 5 August 2019, when the Modi government scrapped Article 370.
Countering insurgency needs the Pakistan Army to demonstrate a political will that ties leaders at the centre with those in the borderlands. But it may not have the imagination.
Centre for Science and Environment in new report makes case for rationalising GST on waste material, saying most informal operators can’t afford high tax & it also hinders recycling.

Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
Remember, it was Pak which started the aggression from day one, and remained its modus operandi ever since. Yes, it would be best for all concerned if Pakistan stopped it belligerence and had a peaceful and productive relationship with its neighbor, and erstwhile bretheren, to its immediate east. But alas, such peace ‘overtures’ have been made countless time before, mostly as mere cynical gestures for international consumption, like now, with its economy in the cesspit and being constantly on the FATF radar. Yes, eating grass may get them nukes, and using jihad to advance its foreign policy agenda can only get them so far. Actions speak louder than words.
Don’t believe there will be any Indo-Pak peace. Of course, strategic overtures will be made from time to time by either or both sides. Presently Pak is standing in int’l arena with a big begging bowl, asking for dollars, fuel, vaccines, anything. A newly elected US president and Chinese withdrawal from Laddakh may have done the trick for now.. Peace will however be short lived.
Indian viewers would like to know why India moved back from aggressive pestering. Why waste 5 years and move back to 2003 agreement? (Jithay de khote uthay anj khaloti)
i hope that now ota time to play the game like others bcoz no country is doing fair ..everyone is dirty but calling them -self pur..now its ti.e for my country pak to do the same..

It’s simple terroristan need money to support itself……. Pakistan will have to cooperate with India and develop a professional ethical framework in order to realise its potential otherwise things will keep getting difficult for them……. Post Balakot they have also realised that proxy war can haunt them severely…
Pure Bakwas article. Pakistan military spokesperson had spoken of economic reason for showing mercy on Abhinandan then how can Ayesha say that Gen Bajwa had realized it now?
If what was said by a legislator in the Pak assembly then, all Bajwa is looking for is time to change the wet trousers.
China keeping India tied down on the border was to give an opportunity to Pakistan to initiate action with India.
Both calculations went wrong when India kept China tied down instead of the other way round and Pakistan was not sure how the Indian retaliation would be.
With a significant change in the Indian capacity and approach the smartest thing to do would be to start working to gather first by removing the irritants.
Both the neighbors need to understand that India is now ready to both bear and inflict cost if messed around with.
You are absolutely right.
Pakistan is trying to buy time to back stab India at the first available opportunity.
Luckily the BJP government and Military of India alongwith IT , ISRO, DRDO as well as many Indian startups have been given full support to make India constantly evolving brilliant offensive technology to keep the enemy in control forever. This process will continue regardless of any diplomatic or political drama both Indian or foreign.
paxtan has to abandon blasphemy laws and hate to others if it ever wants to be significant in the 21th century. IMF will not support with these attitudes in paxtan society. If you can be happy being like syria, sudan & libya, so be it.
It is always interesting to know the perspectives from the other wise. But, Pakistan cannot shed the millstone around its neck that Kashmir is. India won’t give up Kashmir. Until both countries to finalise the dispute based on what each side possesses now as final, nothing good will emerge for some more time.

Nonsense article. Unable to understand
The writer is asking how long and breadth and depth of the peace process will take?. Very sorry to say. Till another Mumbai Meyhem.
