"India and Pakistan will hold a flag meeting at Brigade Commander level at Chakan da Bagh crossing point at LoC to address the issue of ceasefire violations," PRO Defence Northern Command Col S D Goswami said.

The ceasefire violations have escalated in last few days and resulted in large number of civilian casalities and collateral damage to properties.
