RAWALPINDI: Just days after Pakistan Rangers and Indian Border Security Force (BSF) agreed to stop ceasefire violations, Indian troops yet again violated the Line of Control (LoC) on Monday evening.

According to an Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) statement, Indian troops resorted to unprovoked shelling and firing in Nakial sector.

Pakistani troops befittingly responded to Indian fire, the statement added.

Both the countries had agreed on Saturday to restore ceasefire at the working boundary to save lives of innocent civilians.

The breakthrough came at the bi-annual meeting between Pakistan Rangers and Indian BSF, which was held under a ‘cordial atmosphere’ with both sides also agreeing to carryout joint investigations of future ceasefire violations.

Rahul | 9 years ago | Reply @Shaukat Ali The clause has no merits until there are intentions to have peace. Indian newspaper has been reporting a death of an BSF border yesterday by a mortal shell which have been also put under the clause for no use on border area. Take your own conclusion on these narratives.

Shaukat ali | 9 years ago | Reply What happened to the clause even one side fires unprovoked, the other side will not fire back immediately and thoroughly investigate where the firing came from!!!!
