As Pakistan continues to violate ceasefire along the Jammu and Kashmir border, Army Chief General Dalbir Singh Suhag on Wednesday said that India is giving efficient as well as appropriate response to the Pakistani troops.
The Army Chief’s comments came as the Pakistani troops targeted 50 security outposts and three dozen hamlets with heavy mortar shelling and firing overnight along the entire 192-km international border in Jammu and Kashmir.
According to reports, India has responded strongly, conveying the Indian leadership’s resolve and ability to deal with Pakistan. New Delhi has cleared that talks with Islamabad will not be possible unless Pakistan stops violating ceasefire at border.
In retaliation to Pakistan targeting civilian habitations in Jammu and Kashmir, the Union Home Ministry today put on hold a scheduled flag meeting between Pakistan and Indian paramilitary forces to discuss the recent hostilities.
Extending the ceasefire violations to new areas, the Pakistan Rangers shelled border outposts (BoPs) and villages in Samba and Kathua along with Jammu during the night and the firing was continuing till Wednesday morning.
