Early Times Report
Jammu, June 11 : Two more ceasefire violations were reported along the line of control in Krishna Ghati sector of Poonch from the Paksitani side in the last 24 hours. According to defence sources, "Pakistani troops fired on Indian posts along the Line of Control (LoC) in Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir, late Monday night and on Tuesday afternoon using small fire arms."
Pakistan troops opened small arms firing on Indian posts in Nangi Tikri forward area along LoC in Krishnagati sub-sector of Poonch last night around 8.10 and today around 1.10 p.m, officiating Defence PRO S N Acharya said. He said the firing continued for 10 minutes from 8.10 PM to 8.20 PM on Monday but it continued for over one hour on Tuesday afternoon. Troops guarding the borderline did not retaliate, Acharya said, adding there was no loss of life or injury to anyone in the firing.
Troops are vigilant along the border line and patrolling has been intensified in view of reports of attempts of infiltration from across the border. On June 7, a Junior Commissioned Officer (JCO) was killed when Pakistan opened heavy fire with automatic weapons and rockets on Indian posts along the LoC in Poonch sector.
Earlier, on May 27, Pakistani troops had pounded Indian posts along the LoC in the Poonch sector with rockets. A Brigadier and two jawans were injured on May 24, when Pakistani troops opened fire on Indian positions along the LoC in Tutmari Gali sector in Jammu and Kashmir. |
