Amid the ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan, a talk at the level of Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) take place at noon on Monday (May 12) to address the issue. The Army will be giving a briefing today at 2:30 PM as well.
Before the DGMO-level discussions set for today, the CDS and the heads of the three armed forces arrived at the Prime Minister’s house. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval also reached the venue.
This follows a day after Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri verified on Sunday that Pakistan’s DGMO reached out to India. Both countries have consented to cease all military operations on land, at sea, and in the air, effective from 5:00 PM on May 10.
He subsequently stated that orders have been given to implement the ceasefire and that another round of DGMO-level discussions is set for May 12 at 12:00 PM.
In a media briefing late on Saturday night, Vikram Misri asked Pakistan to take suitable measures to tackle the ceasefire violations and handle the situation with seriousness and responsibility.

On Sunday, Director General Military Operations (DGMO) Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai announced that the Indian Armed Forces conveyed a “hotline message” to his Pakistani counterpart, highlighting the “violation” of the ceasefire agreement established between the two countries on May 10. He also highlighted India’s “strong and definite” intention to react to these “vehemently and harshly” if they occur again.
In the media briefing, the DGMO stated that these violations were addressed firmly and handled as they should be.
In the meantime, Lt General Ghai mentioned that the Indian Armed Forces have shown “significant restraint” and that “our actions have been intentional, calibrated, and non-escalatory.” “Nonetheless, any danger to the sovereignty, territorial integrity, and safety of our people will be confronted with resolute force,” he stated.
Following four days of relentless drone and missile confrontations across borders that brought both countries perilously near to all-out war, India and Pakistan consented to a ceasefire on May 10. The two parties came to an agreement to promptly cease all military operations, signifying an important retreat from additional escalations.
