Line of Control Map

The Line of Control (LoC) is a military term referring to the de facto border between India and Pakistan in the disputed region of Jammu and Kashmir. Established after the 1947-48 war, it serves as the dividing line where both countries control territory but do not recognize it as an official border. The LoC is significant due to historical tensions and ongoing conflicts over territorial claims. It is marked by military presence and often experiences skirmishes, highlighting the sensitive nature of the region and the complex relationship between India and Pakistan.
