The review meeting came a day after the Director Generals of Military Operations (DGMOs) of India and Pakistan deliberated on ways to avoid “inimical” military actions and agreed on considering immediate steps to reduce troops of the two militaries from the borders and forward areas.

It is learnt that the outcomes of the talks between the two DGMOs were also discussed at the meeting.
