The Line of Control (LOC) is a line which demarcates the boundary between the territories controlled by two militaries or political entities, e.g. the ones in Western Kashmir and the Aksai Chin — where it is known as the "Line of Actual Control" (LAC).

Originally known as the "Ceasefire Line", it was redesignated the "Line of Control" after the Simla Agreement.

The LoC has seen various Indo-Pakistani Wars the latest one being in 1999 when both India and Pakistan fought in the Kargil War.
