May 14: In a significant move towards reducing tension along the Line of Control (LoC) and the international border, India and Pakistan are likely to exchange detailed plans regarding the de-escalation of troops and military assets deployed during the heightened alert phase under Operation Sindoor, highly placed sources have revealed to Gulistan News.

According to officials familiar with the developments, the talks—held in the second round of communication between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of both nations on Monday evening—focused on mechanisms to roll back the forward deployment of soldiers, artillery units, and surveillance platforms. The move is seen as a step toward restoring the military posture to what it was before the April standoff.

While Monday’s dialogue marked a breakthrough in communication, it is still unclear whether future negotiations will involve the DGMOs directly or be handled by specially designated liaison officers from both military headquarters.

Military observers note that this development comes amid increasing international calls for restraint and dialogue, especially following the high-risk escalation during Operation Sindoor, in which both countries bolstered their troop presence and air surveillance in response to cross-border hostilities.
Despite the optimism surrounding the proposed steps, sources caution that the success of the plan will depend on mutual verification protocols and ground-level coordination to avoid misunderstandings or accidental flare-ups during the withdrawal process.The official statements from either side are awaited, but insiders maintain that the exchange of plans today could mark a pivotal moment in stabilizing the situation along one of the world’s most volatile borders.
