India-Pakistan DGMOs' talk postponed to evening from 12 pm today
India launched ‘Operation Sindoor’ on May 7 and targeted nine terror infrastructures in Pakistan and PoK in response to the Pahalgam terror attack.
The scheduled conversation between Director Generals of Military Operations (DGMOs) of India and Pakistan will take place on Monday evening.
The talks, initially scheduled for 12 noon, have been deferred to the evening, though the reason for the delay was not revealed by the Indian armed forces.
On Saturday, India and Pakistan announced an agreement to cease all firings and military actions on land, air, and sea, effective immediately.
All subsequent retaliations to Pakistani offensives were conducted under ‘Operation Sindoor.’
India launched ‘Operation Sindoor’ on May 7 and targeted nine terror infrastructures in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in response to the Pahalgam terror attack.
Terror headquarters of the banned Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Hizbul Mujahideen were targeted, with the Indian Air Force conducting night raids on nine hideouts in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir, officials confirmed on Wednesday.
Among the precise targets hit were the Markaz Subhan Allah at Bahawalpur, Sarjal at Tehra Kalan, Markaz Abbas in Kotli, and Syedna Bilal camp in Muzaffarabad, all linked to the banned Jaish-e-Mohammed.
Other targets included the Markaz Taiba at Murdike, Markaz Ahle Hadith at Barnala, and Shwawai Nalla camp at Muzaffarabad, all associated with the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba.
The DGMO, or Director General of Military Operations, is a high-ranking army officer in charge of military planning and border operations.
In India, this position is usually held by a Lieutenant General. The current Indian DGMO is Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai, while Pakistan’s DGMO is Major General Kashif Abdullah.
What is the role of India’s DGMO in military operations?
The DGMO, or Director General of Military Operations, is a high-ranking army officer in charge of military planning and border operations.
The officer remains in direct contact with counterparts in other countries to manage and de-escalate potential conflicts, as seen in the ongoing India-Pakistan tensions following the April 22 Pahalgam attack, according to a report in The Mint.
A DGMO is responsible for planning and overseeing military operations, including combat missions and counter-terrorism efforts. Ensuring that the armed forces remain prepared for any kind of operation is a key part of the job.
