Minimarg is a village in the Astore District of the Pakistani region of Gilgit-Baltistan. It is situated on the right bank of the Neelum River to the north of Taobat, approximately 190 km from the city of Gilgit. The average elevation is 2,844.6 metres above sea level.
History of Minimarg
During the First Kashmir War in 1947–1948, a wing of the combined Gilgit Scouts and renegade 6th Infantry of the Jammu and Kashmir (princely state) State Forces, called the 'Tiger Force', took control of Minimarg. They reached as far south as Bandipora in April 1948, but withdrew to Minimarg after the Indian Army's Operation Eraze. During the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, the Indian Border Security Force reached Minimarg, but pulled back to a point 3 km south of it due to overreach. The present Line of Control dividing the two parts of Kashmir runs here.
