If you cross the LOC, you can cut off the line of supplies and communication. That would make the people up there real nervous. Then they would be force to man 4 sides instead of 3 sides.

Capturing ground would certainly be useful because it sends a very powerful message to the pakistanis. Attack and you will lose more than your men and dignity. You will lose land. To me, that is an effective deterrance.
In mountains and deserts ones defences are in all round defence and not just 3 sides.
What success would we have had when the PA was already deployed in their main defensive positions?...
