| Pakistani troops 'shoot' Antony's visit to LoC | | | Kaman Post, July 27
Pakistani troops resorted to ‘shooting’ of a different kind as numerous cameras clicked when Defence Minister A K Antony stepped on to the Aman Setu bridge across the Line of Control (LoC).
Antony, on his first vist to forward posts in the Uri sector, walked almost half-way across the bridge -- used by people travelling along the Srinagar-Muzaffarabad road -- along with Army Chief Gen J J Singh.
As Antony talked to Army officers and journalists accompanying him, several camera flashes went off on the Pakistani side.
There was a flurry of activity on the Pakistani side when an advance party accompanying the Defence Minister reached the bridge, which was damaged in the 2005 earthquake in Kashmir. Pakistani troops were seen, cameras and binoculars in hand, checking the movements on the Indian side.
Antony was briefed by Singh about the repairs to the bridge that would be undertaken by the army in the next few weeks.
