In a rare moment of calm along one of the world’s most tense borders, a senior army official confirmed on Sunday that the recent ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan will continue — bringing a much-needed sigh of relief to people living along the Line of Control (LoC).
The announcement comes after some speculation that the ceasefire, agreed upon on May 12, might be short-lived. “There’s no deadline or expiry date on this peace pause,” the official clarified, referring to the understanding reached during the recent talks between the Director Generals of Military Operations (DGMOs) of both countries.
While no new talks are scheduled between the Indian and Pakistani military officials today, the assurance that the guns will remain silent has sparked cautious optimism on both sides of the border.
For residents in border villages who’ve long endured sleepless nights and sudden displacements, even a fragile peace feels like a breath of fresh air — a chance to return to fields, schools, and a semblance of normal life.
As the sun sets quietly over the mountains today, many hope this ceasefire isn’t just a pause — but the beginning of something better.
