Line of Control Issues — Prelims Strategy

Prelims Strategy

For Prelims preparation, focus on memorizing key facts: LoC length (740 km), establishment dates (Ceasefire Line 1949, renamed LoC 1972), major agreements (Karachi, Shimla), and recent incidents with dates.

Create a timeline of major LoC events from 1947 to present, including wars, agreements, and significant violations. Pay special attention to current affairs from 2016 onwards, particularly surgical strikes, Balakot, and recent technological deployments.

Practice elimination techniques by understanding common traps: confusing LoC with LAC, mixing up agreement dates, and incorrectly attributing UNMOGIP's current role. Memorize CBM agreements chronologically and their key provisions.

Focus on recent technological developments like CIBMS, AI integration, and surveillance upgrades as these frequently appear in current affairs-based questions.
