Summary Khurshid termed the LoC violations as a matter of grave concern.

NEW DELHI (Dunya News) - Indian External Affairs Minister, Salman Khurshid said on Saturday that the DGMOs of Pakistan and India would meet soon to discuss ceasefire violations at the Line of Control (LoC).

Khurshid termed the LoC violations as a matter of grave concern and said this was not just an issue of diplomacy but also of military relations.

A spike in fighting along the LoC in January stalled peace talks which had only just resumed following a three-year hiatus sparked by the 2008 attacks in Mumbai that killed 166 people.

More violence erupted along the LoC after several soldiers were killed on both sides in August.

Delhi blamed the August 5 ambush on the Pakistan army, but Islamabad denied the claims and has repeatedly called for restraint and dialogue.
