Escalation of violence across Line of Control: Statement by the Kashmir Initiative Group

Recent developments have, sadly, come in the way of one of the very significant Jammu-Kashmir specific Confidence Building Measures as they have led to suspension of the Cross-LoC trade and travel.

[...] the KIG appeals to the governments and the political leadership in India and Pakistan to review the circumstances leading to recent developments and take appropriate measures for restoration of normalcy and strict adherence to the mutually agreed ceasefire.
