JAMMU, Nov 15 : Pakistan yet again violated the ceasefire by targetting forward villages and posts on the Line of Control in Pallanwala sector here, while schools in the bordering hamlets which were scheduled to reopen today, remained closed in firing hit locations.

"The district administration yesterday ordered the opening of schools in the border areas which remained close due to firing but the Deputy Commissioner Jammu has asked the SDMs of respective areas to review the situation before taking decision," he added.
