All violation of ceasefire are taken up with Pakistan military authorities at the appropriate level through established mechanism of hotline messages as well as weekly talks between the  Director General of Military Operations (DGsMO) of India and Pakistan.

There has been a significant reduction in the incidents of CFVs post telephonic talks between the two DGsMO on 25th and 29th October, 2013.

Army has deployed adequate troops suitably supplemented with appropriate surveillance and intelligence resources along the LoC. A review of the counter infiltration strategy has been carried out based on the recent incidents and necessary steps have been taken to make the counter infiltration grid more dynamic and additional troops have been deployed in sensitive areas.
