Indian forces open fire across Shakargarh border

NAROWAL: Indian Border Security Forces (BSF) opened fire across the Shakargarh working boundary in the Narowal district late Wednesday night.

According to a Rangers’ spokesman, the Indian forces started indiscriminate firing which was followed by mortar shells being launched into the Pakistani side.

Pakistan rangers also retaliated and the exchange of firing continued on for about half an hour.

However, no injuries or casualties have been reported in this incident and no official statement has come out from the Indian side.

Last week, Indian BSF had violated the working boundary in the Bajwat sector in Sialkot by firing across the border. An exchange of fire had ensued between the Indian and Pakistani forces but there had been no reports of casualties.

MuRti.!! | 13 years ago | Reply I think its very apparent that who's on the wrong side. If you think that self defense is wrong then you are on the wrong track . What about Indian involvement in Baluchistan and the insurgency that has erupted. Why don't you consider this fact . And Qadir have you ever thought about Baluchistan and its condition ? Its the result of people like you that our nation has not prospered. It has been a long time since Pakistan has stopped pushing Infiltrators in Kashmir otherwise the condition would have been different. Why don't you look at the treatment of Kashmiris by the Indian Army . And as far as insurgency is concerned, it is an outcome of this tyranny.
