New Delhi, May 18: The Indian Army has said that no talks were scheduled between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMO) of India and Pakistan on Sunday. The Army further made it clear that the continuation of a break in hostilities, as decided in the DGMOs interaction of May 12, has no expiry date to it.

The clarification comes after some media houses reported that the ceasefire between India and Pakistan is ending on May 18. "No DGMO talks are scheduled today. As far as the continuation of a break in hostilities as decided in the DGMOs interaction of 12th May is concerned, there is no expiry date to it," the Indian Army said. ‘India-Pakistan Ceasefire Will Hold Only if There Are No Terror Attacks’: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh Warns Pak in Jammu and Kashmir.

Earlier on May 12, the Director Generals of Military Operations (DGMOs) of India and Pakistan held crucial talks and issues related to continuing the commitment that both sides must not fire a single shot or initiate any aggressive action were discussed. It was also agreed that both sides consider immediate measures to ensure troop reduction from the borders and forward areas.

The DGMO-level talks between the two countries, which were initially slated to take place around noon on May 12, were later scheduled for the evening. The two countries reached an understanding on Saturday on the stoppage of firing and military action following a call made by Pakistan's DGMO to his Indian counterpart Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai. Bilawal Bhutto To Lead Pakistan’s Peace Delegation Abroad After India Selects Team To Expose Pak and Present Evidence of Pahalgam Terror Attack on Global Stage.
