Kashmir 'disengagement' plan agreed The Indian army has spoken of successful operations The Pakistani and Indian armed forces have reached agreement on a sector-by-sector ceasefire and "disengagement" of forces in Kashmir the Pakistani Foreign Minister Sartaj Aziz has said. Mr Aziz said the process had already started in the Kaksar sector and would shortly begin in the Kushkoh area. He said the disengagement would be "gradually" completed across all the strategic hills in the region. So far there has been no comment on the deal fom Delhi. The announcement follows the first face-to-face meeting between senior military officials from the two countries since the current round of fighting began two months ago. The meeting between the Director Generals of Military Operations took place on the Indian side of the Punjab border, near the town of Wagah. Evidence of withdrawal Earlier India's National Security Adviser Brajesh Mishra said he had seen "some evidence" that Islamic militants and Pakistani forces were withdrawing from their positions in Kashmir. He told reporters in Delhi that the pullout was likely to take around seven days. India has always maintained that Pakistani soldiers, as well as militants, have crossed into the Indian-administered part of Kashmir. Pakistan has denied its military are involved in any of the fighting. BBC Delhi Correspondent, Daniel Lak, says Indian officials think the fighting will soon be over but it raises the question whether India will allow the withdrawal to take place without firing on the retreating forces. Army spokesmen had insisted there was no question of a ceasefire until every intruder leaves. The fighting has been taking place along the Line of Control, which divides Kashmir into zones administered by India and Pakistan. The Pakistani government has been pressing Pakistan-based militant groups to withdraw from their positions........ news.bbc.co.uk
