The Indian Army on Saturday announced that a dialogue between the DGMOs of India and Pakistan was conducted, with the emphasis being on making both sides desist from aggressive behavior and adhere to their peace commitment along the border.
“Talks between DGMOs were held at 5:00 PM, 12 May 2025. Issues related to continuing the commitment that both sides must not fire a single shot or initiate any aggressive and inimical action against each other were discussed. It was also agreed that both sides consider immediate measures to ensure troop reduction from the borders and forward areas,” the Indian Army said in a statement.
Ceasefire Agreement After Intense Military Clashes
Lt Gen Ghai, speaking at a joint press conference on Sunday, said that during his interaction with his Pakistan counterpart on Saturday, the proposal was made to “cease hostilities.”
The DGMO, or Director General of Military Operations, is a high-ranking military officer who oversees military planning and border operations.
US Involvement and the Breakdown of Ceasefire
On Saturday, there was an agreement between the two nations to suspend all firing and military action after a request from the Pakistan DGMO to his Indian counterpart, Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai.
Following more than three days of hot exchange of gunfire, India and Pakistan on Saturday agreed on Saturday to ‘immediately’ halt all firing and military action on land, sea, and air.
Trump on Ceasefire
US President Donald Trump, who initially declared the ceasefire on Saturday, saw it defied by Pakistan within hours as drones were intercepted in areas of Jammu, Srinagar, Punjab, and Rajasthan.
The military clash occurred after Pakistan conducted drones and missiles towards the Indian side in reaction to the Operation Sindoor military attacks conducted by India on nine terror facilities in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir on May 7.
The “full and immediate” ceasefire between India and Pakistan was originally announced on Saturday by US President Donald Trump, asserting that it was a consequence of the US-facilitated negotiations.
