Parents – The Silent Pillars Behind Every Success

Despite India’s strong warnings, Pakistan continues unprovoked ceasefire violations along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir, escalating tensions after the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack.
Increased Tensions Along the LoC Despite Dialogue
Even after ceasefire discussions between India and Pakistan's Directorate Generals of Military Operations (DGMOs), unprovoked firing by Pakistani troops has continued along the Line of Control (LoC) for the seventh straight night. These acts of aggression come in the wake of the tragic Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, which claimed the lives of 26 tourists.
Unprovoked Firing in Multiple Sectors
According to Lt Colonel Suneel Bartwal, defence spokesperson of the Northern Command, the latest violation took place between April 30 and May 1 in the Kupwara, Uri, and Akhnoor sectors of Jammu & Kashmir. He confirmed that Indian troops responded proportionately to the firing.
India Issues Stern Warning
Despite the DGMOs holding hotline talks on April 29 to reaffirm the 2003 ceasefire agreement, Pakistan’s continued aggression has raised serious concerns. India had issued a clear warning to Pakistan against such provocations, yet violations have persisted.
Diplomatic Angle and Global Attention
The escalation has caught international attention. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio recently urged India’s External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar to work towards de-escalation. This indicates how border tensions are being watched closely by global powers.
The Bigger Picture
Following the April 22 attack, India paused the Indus Water Treaty – a historic water-sharing agreement – as a strategic response. Shortly after, ceasefire violations began, suggesting a pattern of rising hostility.
While the 2021 DGMOs agreement had maintained peace with only minor violations, recent developments risk undoing the progress made over the past few years.
