Outlook
- It would be unwise to withdraw from the present Indian position on the Saltoro Ridge where India is in command
- If there is a withdrawal from the glacier, it must be after the two armies' positions have been authenticated both by India and Pakistan jointly on a map as well as on the ground
- The agreement must have a clause giving each side the right to take "appropriate action" if there is any violation of the position on ground
- The withdrawal, if any, must be to a position which gives Indian troops ample time to redeploy. The Pakistanis have better roads while none exists on this side. Therefore, any withdrawal must be decided keeping in mind the number of hours it would take either side to deploy to their present positions.
