The announcement ... said that the terms of the agreement reached in Karachi on July 27 by military representatives of India and Pakistan, involving not only demarcation but also extensive troop adjustments along a wide front, have been fulfilled.

The reinforcing of existing defensive positions with men or war-like stores will be a breach of the cease-fire, according to a sixpoint definition ... agreed as supplement to the Karachi Agreement.
