{{Main|Line of Control}}
The [[Line of Control]] (LoC) refers to the military control line between the Indian and Pakistani controlled parts of the former princely state of [[Kashmir and Jammu (princely state)|Kashmir and Jammu]]—a line which, to this day, does not constitute a legally recognized international boundary, but is the [[de facto]] border. Originally known as the ''Cease-fire Line'', it was redesignated as the "Line of Control" following the [[Simla Agreement]], which was signed on 3 July 1972. The part of the former princely state that is under Indian control was known as the state of [[Jammu and Kashmir (state)|Jammu and Kashmir]], which was split into two separate [[Union Territory|Union Territories]]. The two parts of the former princely state that are under Pakistani control are known as [[Gilgit–Baltistan]] and [[Azad Kashmir]] (AJK). Its northernmost point is known as the [[NJ9842]]. This territorial division, which to this day still exists, severed many villages and separated family members from each other.<ref>Ranjan Kumar Singh, Sarhad: Zero Mile, (Hindi), ''Parijat Prakashan'', {{ISBN|81-903561-0-0}}</ref><ref name="loc kashmir">{{cite book | author=Women in Security, Conflict Management, a Peace (Program) | title=Closer to ourselves: stories from the journ towards peace in South Asia | url=https://books.google.com/books?q=line+of+control+separated+villages+families+relatives+in+kashmir&btnG=Search+Books | access-date=19 June 2013 |year=2008 | publisher=WISCOMP, Foundation for Universal Responsibility of His Holiness the Dalai Lama 2008 | page=75}}</ref>
