  • There have been 2,050 unprovoked ceasefire violations by Pak in which 21 Indian have died. India had raised the matter via diplomatic channels in Islamabad. 
     
  • Pak Army on Saturday had violated ceasefire in J&K’s Poonch and Rajouri districts. Pak resorted to unprovoked heavy firing in Mandher and Balakot sectors of Poonch and Bhimbher Gali

Refusing to deter from its nefarious antics to disrupt normalcy in the Valley, Pakistani Army on Saturday had violated ceasefire in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch and Rajouri districts. Pakistan resorted to unprovoked heavy firing in Mandher and Balakot sectors of Poonch district and Bhimbher Gali and Manjakot sectors of Rajauri.

Asking Pakistan to "adhere to 2003 ceasefire understanding and maintain peace and tranquillity along the LOC and IB", the spokesperson said, "Indian forces exercise maximum restraint and respond to unprovoked violations and attempts at cross border terrorist infiltration."

India had raised the matter via diplomatic channels in Islamabad. Pakistan had summoned Indian deputy high commissioner on Saturday, in which the latter clearly told them not to exacerbate the situation at Line Of Control (LoC).

Increasingly it has been observed that Pakistan has been instigating people of Pakistan occupied Kashmir to cross the LoC.

Lt Gen Ranbir Singh, general officer commanding-in-chief, Northern Command of the Indian Army on Saturday said, "There are a large number of leaders across the LoC who are instigating PoK residents. They are trying to use them as cannon fodder for attempts to come close to LoC"

Exuding confidence, Lt Gen Ranbir Singh said, "situation at LoC is firmly under control. By our calibrated and proactive approach, we have been able to attain complete moral ascendency over the enemy." He visited the forward posts in Rajouri and Sunderbani Sectors on Saturday to review the operational preparedness and the prevalent security situation.
