The Times of India quoted Indian Army officers saying that the Line of Control in the area follows an imaginary line connecting high points such as Points 5070, 5353, 5245 and 5608. It was said that the Indian forces control the highest one, Point 5608, whereas the Pakistanis control Point 5353, because that is what the terrain allows. They believed that the tactical advantage to Pakistan from controlling the point 5353 is minimal. On 28 August 2000, The Hindu reported that the Indian troops captured Point 5070 in the vicinity to neutralise the Pakistani edge in the area.
