LAHORE: Forum for Peace and Democracy has strongly condemned the ceasefire violations taking place near the Line of Control. Nearly 800 incidents of ceasefire violations were reported in the border areas between India and Pakistan.
The ceasefire violations have adversely impacted the lives of people living in border areas. Their access to education, health services, transportation, emergency and other basic services is now difficult.
Also, the schools are regularly suspended and turned into relief camps until peace is restored.
PIPFPD strongly recommended immediate restoration of 'flag meetings' and contacts between the Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) of India and Pakistan. The forum also suggested the resumption of a structured dialogue between the two countries.
