Indian, Pak Army officers shake hands during a repatriation process along LoC

In a gesture of goodwill, the Indian Army repatriated a Pakistani national, Asad Khan, apprehended along the Line of Control in Kupwara last week. Khan, who reportedly crossed the LoC inadvertently while seeking employment, was treated with dignity and compassion. The handover at the Aman Setu peace bridge signifies a potential easing of tensions, underscoring the Indian Army’s commitment to humanitarian values and professionalism.
