In May, Home Minister Rajnath Singh had announced the suspension of operations in Jammu and Kashmir during the holy month of Ramzan, allowing the fasting as well as the Amarnath Yatra to pass peacefully. The decision was welcomed by the Jammu and Kashmir government.
Significantly, Pakistan during talks between Director General Military Operations (DGMOs) of both the countries had recently agreed to maintain 2003 ceasefire agreement in letter and spirit. The DGMOs of both the countries agreed to undertake measures to improve existing situation along the borders, besides exercising restraint in case of any issue and resolve the matter through hotline contact and flag meetings between them.
The ceasefire agreement, however, may not continue after Eid.
