Steps planned to boost confidence at Indo-Pak border
Hindustan Times Jammu
|May 17, 2025
The Indian Army on Thursday said it will push "confidence building measures" along the border with Pakistan "to reduce the alertness level" there, hours after Pakistan's foreign minister Ishaq Dar said that the May 10 ceasefire between the Indian and Pakistani armies was extended till May 18.
NEW DELHI:
"Further to the understanding between the two DGMOs (directors general of military operations) on May 10, 2025, it has been decided to continue the confidence building measures (CBMs) to reduce the alertness level," the Indian Army said in a brief statement.
It did not comment on Dar's statement made in the Pakistani parliament or confirm if the two DGMOs spoke again on Thursday as he suggested.
The understanding between India and Pakistan to cease military hostilities was announced on May 10 in the evening, after Indian DGMO Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai and his Pakistani counterpart Major General Kashif Abdullah talked over the hotline.
The decision, announced by US President Donald Trump, ended four days of fierce fighting that began with the launch of Operation Sindoor in the early hours of May 7. India has consistently said that the understanding was reached bilaterally.

Where is everyone?
We've been searching for decades, but haven't found so much as a microbe in space yet. Could it be that we're early; that life simply has not evolved yet in the neighbourhood? Are we doing it all wrong? Is there a bustling universe of sentient beings out there, waiting for us to catch on? Humans are now beginning to build technology that could make the difference in our quest for alien life. We have a growing understanding of what to look for. We're getting better at sending probes to nearby planets, which could tell us more about where and how to search. What might we find? Why does it matter? Take a look

MF Husain: Man and myth, art and artist
M F Husain is undoubtedly India's best known and perhaps most highly regarded modern artist. As an editorial in this newspaper put it last week, he is \"arguably the most inventive artist of Indian modernism\". This is why it's not just sad but upsetting that an MF Husain museum will open next month in Doha and not in the country of his birth.
