Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired a high-level meeting on Saturday (May 10) evening with top government functionaries, including Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, following the announcement that India and Pakistan have reached an understanding to stop military actions.
 
NSA Ajit Doval, Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan and all three service chiefs were among those who attended the meeting.
 
The directors general of military operations (DGMO) of India and Pakistan have agreed to stop all firings and military action on land, air and sea with effect from 5 pm on Saturday, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said.
 
 
The brief announcement by the foreign secretary came shortly after US President Donald Trump said India and Pakistan have agreed to a "full and immediate ceasefire" after talks mediated by the US.
 
The DGMO of Pakistan called the DGMO of India at 3.35 pm earlier this afternoon, Misri said.  Meanwhile, in a late night media briefing, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri called upon Pakistan to take appropriate steps to address repated violations of the understanding and deal with the situation with "seriousness and responsibility".
