ISLAMABAD: A simple but impressive ceremony was held on Saturday at the office of the United Nations Military Observers Group in India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP) to mark the opening of their routine six-monthly rotations here. Acting Chief Military Observer Brigadier General Mats Wigselius hoisted the UN flag to mark the opening of the UNMOGIP tenure in Pakistan. Pakistan Army officials were also present on this occasion. UNMOGIP was established on January 24, 1949 with a task to aid local commanders on both sides, in verifying the Line of Control (LoC) and notification of ceasefire violations to the two parties| Thousands of jihadis crossing the LOC. Tens of thousands dead in terrorist violence. Shelling and machinegun fire every day. That is one successful UN operation. |
