At least two Indian soldiers, including a senior Army officer, received injuries in fresh incident of ceasefire violation along the Line of Control in Manjakote sector of Rajouri on Thursday.
In response, the Indian Army retaliated strongly and gave a befitting reply to the Pakistan Army.
Defence spokesman in Jammu confirmed, another incident of ceasefire violation was reported in the forward areas of Manjakote in Rajouri on Thursday.
Official sources claimed, two soldiers, injured in the cross border firing were safely evacuated to a nearby hospital where they are undergoing treatment. “Their condition was stated to be stable till the time of filing the report", official sources said.
For last couple of days Pakistan army is indulging in blatant ceasefire violations in the region and provoking strong retaliation.
Large number of border residents in frontier districts of Rajouri and Poonch, living in the direct line of enemy fire, have been adversely affected by the random incidents of firing.
The border residents have been regularly pleading before the Governors' administration to expedite construction of bunkers in the forward villages to ensure their safety.
Issue of absence of ambulances in the worst affected areas has been raised by the local residents but so far adequate measures have not been taken in some of the forward areas witnessing heavy exchange of cross border shelling.
Local reports claimed, Pakistan army on the other side of the line of control has been initiating ceasefire violations with a view to facilitate infiltrators to cross and give them cover to cross across the line of control.
