UN chief Ban Ki-moon has encouraged India and Pakistan to resolve the escalating tensions along the Line of Control through dialogue and in a "peaceful" manner.

Ceasefire violations along the LoC have continued in the days following Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's meeting with his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly last month.

Pakistani troops had opened fire and shelled several border outposts along the International Border in Jammu and Samba this week.

Ban's spokesperson Martin Nesirky said the UN Chief is aware of the reports of tension along the LoC and would encourage the two nations to resolve their disputes through dialogue, on the lines of talks initiated during the bilateral meeting of the Prime Ministers.
