NEW DELHI: India and Pakistan on Tuesday held their weekly hotline talks between the offices of the rival directors general of military operations, with reports from Islamabad indicating that both sides agreed to withdraw troop reinforcements that had been forward-deployed along the western sector.

There was, however, no official statement from Indian Army. One officer described it as "routine" talks that take place between middle-rung officers through the DGMO hotline every Tuesday.

Reports from Pakistan said it had been agreed that the additional troops deployed by the two armies on the frontier will be withdrawn to the "pre-conflict positions" by the end of May.
