SRINAGAR: The machine guns peeking over parapets of small, sandbagged concrete bunkers and the heavy artillery cannons dug deep into disputed Kashmir region’s rugged terrain have fallen silent.
At least for now.
The Line of Control (LoC), a highly militarised de facto border that divides the disputed region between India and Pakistan, and a site of hundreds of deaths, is unusually quiet after the two countries last month agreed to reaffirm their 2003 ceasefire accord.
The somewhat surprising decision prompted a thaw in the otherwise turbulent relations between the two countries but also raised questions about the longevity of the fragile peace, in part due to earlier failures.
