The Armies of India and Pakistan on Thursday (April 10, 2025) held a brigade commander-level flag meeting along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir’‘s Poonch district to discuss issues related to border management.
This is the second such meeting between the two sides this month.
The meeting was held at the Chakan-Da-Bagh cross-point, led by brigadier-level officers from both sides, officials said.
“The flag meetings are routine LoC and border management process in accordance with DGMO’s understanding between both sides,” a Defence Spokesperson said.
He said Thursday’s (April 10) meeting was conducted to discuss routine issues along the LoC.
Indian Army officials also raised the issue of infiltration attempts, ceasefire violations, and IED blasts with their counterparts and lodged a protest with them, official sources said.
On April 2, a brigade commander-level flag meeting, lasting 75 minutes, had taken place at the Chakan-Da-Bagh crossing point area, with both sides highlighting the need to maintain peace along the borders.

Four persons were killed and three others sustained injuries in a fire that broke out in a five-storey building housing several manufacturing units in Rohini Sector 5, the police said on Wednesday. Sixteen fire tenders were rushed to the spot after the Delhi Fire Services (DFS) received a call about the blaze at 7.30 p.m. on Tuesday. However, due to the combustible material stored in the building, including plastic and clothes, and the narrow lanes leading up to it, which prevented fire engines that ran out of water from giving way to other rescue vehicles, it took the DFS over 12 hours to douse the flames.

It is not often that an election in the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation makes much news outside Kerala or even the capital. But the elections in 2020 were different as it culminated in the Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)]’s Arya Rajendran becoming the youngest Mayor of the Corporation at the age of 21, an event which got attention far and wide. Now, five years later, an old tweet on that election by another young person in the running to be the Mayor of New York has gone viral.
