New Delhi: For the second day running, the ceasefire between Indian and Pakistani forces along the 1,126 km-long border in Jammu and Kashmir was holding with no major flare-up reported from anywhere.

The Army said that frequency of contacts at Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) would only be increased" if and when required".

"There has been no major flare-up on the entire Jammu and Kashmir border comprising 198 km stretch of International Border, 778 km of Line of Control and 110 km of Actual Ground Position Line (AGPL) in the Siachen," an Army spokesman said.

"As of now, there is no move to increase the interaction between the two DGMOs," the spokesman said in reply to queries, adding that there could be increased contacts in case of doubts or misunderstandings.

He ruled out any move to hold flag meetings of sector commanders as part of evolving any ceasefire monitoring mechanism.

The Directors General of Military Operations hold discussions over the hotline on weekly basis and it was through this mechanism that New Delhi and Islamabad announced a mutual ceasefire along the border in Jammu and Kashmir.

On setting up of a mechanism to monitor the ceasefire, the spokesman said, "As of now troops deployed on the border and local police force is monitoring the ceasefire."
