During the meeting, Indian Army officials raised concerns about infiltration attempts, ceasefire violations, and improvised explosive device (IED) blasts.

They lodged a formal protest with their Pakistani counterparts regarding these issues. Both sides emphasised the importance of maintaining peace along the LoC and reaffirmed their commitment to the ceasefire agreement renewed on February 25, 2021, which has seen relatively few violations since its renewal.

Recent hostilities in the region include unprovoked firing by Pakistani troops and an IED explosion on February 11 that killed two Indian Army personnel.

There have also been incidents of small arms fire and landmine explosions injuring soldiers in Poonch and Rajouri districts. The Indian Army reported retaliatory actions resulting in significant casualties on the Pakistani side.
