Jammu: Extending ceasefire violations to Samba district, Pakistan troops heavily shelled and fired upon 40 Border Out Posts (BoPs) and 24 villages along the Border in Jammu and Samba districts, leaving three persons injured.
BSF troops gave a befitting reply by responding strongly with equal caliber weapons to Pakistan's firing which resulted in heavy exchange of fire, which continued till 0700 hours, a BSF officer said.
"Pak Rangers resorted to heavy firing of small and automatic weapons and shelling of mortars bombs on 35 to 40 BoPs and civilian areas along IB in Arnia and R S Pura sub-sectors of Jammu district from 2130 hours last night" the officer said. Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray on Monday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to attack Pakistan and teach a lesson for its continued intrusions in Indian borders.
In an edit in the party mouthpiece 'Saamana', Thackery said that recently Pakistan attacked 13 border villages, fired at 22 outposts in Jammu, leaving two dead and many more injured, compelling people from those villages to flee. PDP in Jammu and Kashmir expressed grief over the loss of lives in recent ceasefire violations and said should follow the peace offensive initiated by Atal Bihari Vajpayee during his tenure.
"There was no reason why Modi should not employ similar peace offensive as the one initiated by Vajpayee with Pakistan so that people of the state get a reprieve from constant war and threat of it," PDP president Mehbooba Mufti said.
Meanwhile, late on Monday night, an army jawan was killed in an encounter with militants in Kupwara district of Jammu and Kashmir. This is the third fatality suffered by the army in Kupwara district in the past 48 hours.
