Army officials held a commander-level meeting at a forward defence location (FDL) and lodged a protest with Pakistani Army about ceasefire violations by resorting to heavy firing on several Indian FDLs in Krishnagati sub-sector on Saturday, a senior army officer told PTI.
Pakistani troops denied their involvement in the incidents and blamed it on militants. Indian officials made it clear to the Pakistani counterparts that they will deal with such situations forcefully and would retaliate.
A Border Security Force jawan was injured in the Pakistani firing on Saturday. BSF had yesterday lodged a strong protest with Pakistan Rangers over facilitation of infiltration and cross-border firing by its troops in Ramgarh sub-sector in Samba district.
