control of Kashmir.
 War progress

First, Pakistan infiltrated forces into the

Indian-controlled section of Kashmir.

The next stage consisted of India

discovering the infiltration and mobilizing
forces to respond to it.

The final stage involved major battles by

Indian and Pakistani forces.
 Pakistan’s steps

 During the winter season, Indian and

Pakistan Armies reduce patrolling of areas
that may be avenues of infiltration.

 During February 1999, when weather

conditions were severe the Pakistan Army
began to occupy some posts on the Indian
side of the LOC.
 Withdrawal and final battles

UN.

 The Indian army launched its final attacks in

the last week of July.

potentials.

propagatory front was proved a total collapse
