1972 — India and Pakistan sign a peace accord, renaming the ceasefire line in Kashmir as the Line of Control, a heavily fortified stretch of military outposts that divide the region between them. Both sides deploy more troops along the frontier, turning it into a heavily fortified stretch of military outposts.

India and Pakistan early Monday agreed to resolve a week of strikes and clashes with a ceasefire that does not permit “a single shot” or any other type of aggressive action. Both sides must also “consider immediate measures to ensure troop reduction” from their borders.

Indian and Pakistani officials were scheduled to hold direct talks Monday to build on a U.S.-brokered cease-fire between the nuclear-armed Asian rivals that came into force over the weekend.
