The Indo-Pak Conflict Monitor is an independent research initiative to monitor ceasefire violations and escalation dynamics between India and Pakistan.
As both India and Pakistan grapple with COVID-19 pandemic, the @IPCM_2018 ticker graph recorded a rise in #ceasefireviolations along with Line of Control and International Border since March 2020.

Or 4 that matter, has security situation in Kashmir improved since 2014?
Here's the comparative violence data from 2011 to 2019.
The data & the graph are self-explanatory. @IPCM_2018
