Border Security Force (BSF) troops of India and the Pakistani Rangers on Thursday held a commandant level flag meeting along International Border (IB) in Samba sector of occupied Jammu and Kashmir, during which they impressed upon each other to respect the cease-fire. "BSF and Pak Rangers held a flag meeting in Ramgarh sector of Samba district on Thursday," a police officer said.
The commandant level flag meeting was held at zero-line between Ballard Post of India and Imran Post of Pakistan, he said, adding the Indian side was represented by Commandant of 126 Battalion, Hari Singh. As per reports, two sides are reported to have impressed each other to respect cease-fire along Indo-Pak border.
This is the second commandant-level flag meeting in series of meetings scheduled in various affected sectors ahead of formal sector commander (DIG-Brigadier) level meeting to defuse the tension and bring much needed peace on two sides of IB. India and Pakistan on Wednesday held a commandant level flag meeting here to resume the derailed talks following heaviest shelling and firing along IB since 1971 war in occupied Jammu sector, as Pak requested a sector commander level flag meeting to defuse the situation on the border and bring peace.
