The Indian Army on Thursday conveyed its concerns to Pakistan on the movement of terrorists along the Line of Control (LoC) in Pakistan-held Kashmir, informed sources said.

The Director General of Military Operations (DGMO), Lt. Gen. A.K. Bhat, spoke to his Pakistani counterpart to share his concerns, the sources said.

The LoC divides Jammu and Kashmir between India and Pakistan.

The two DGMOs also discussed the repatriation of two Pakistani teenagers apprehended in Uri in Jammu and Kashmir last year.

The two will be handed over to Pakistani authorities at the Attari-Wagah border near Amritsar in Punjab on March 10.

The National Investigation Agency on Wednesday released Faisal Hussain Awan and Ahsan Khursheed, who were arrested on September 21 after a terror attack on an Indian Army base in Uri town that left 19 soldiers dead.
