Omar Abdullah said, “Now, it is the responsibility of the administration to begin providing relief to the people without delay."

The first word of the truce came from U.S. President Donald Trump, who posted on his Truth Social platform that he was pleased to announce that India and Pakistan had agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire. “Congratulations to both Countries on using Common Sense and Great Intelligence. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

It follows weeks of clashes that were triggered by a gun massacre of tourists last month that India blames on Pakistan.
