Line of Control (LoC)

The Line of Control (LoC) is a de facto military boundary between India and Pakistan in the region of Jammu and Kashmir. Established after the 1947 Indo-Pakistani War, it separates areas administered by each country but is not recognized as an official border. The LoC is significant due to ongoing tensions and conflicts over the region, with both countries claiming it in full. It serves as a line where military forces are positioned, and skirmishes can occur, making it a critical point of geopolitical interest and conflict resolution efforts in South Asia.
