| [Daily Excelsior] Pak troops violated the ceasefire and shelled forward posts and civilian areas along the Line of Control (LoC) in Bhimber Gali sector of Rajouri district today, the third such violation during the past 24 hours. "Mighty Pak Army initiated indiscriminate firing of small arms, automatic and mortar shells from 11 am today on Indian Army posts along the LoC in BG sector of Rajouri district," official sources said. Army troops deployed on forward posts retaliated strongly and effectively, they said, adding the exchange of firing continued till late this afternoon. Today’s ceasefire violation is the third such incident in less than 24 hours along the LoC in Rajouri and Poonch districts. Yesterday, Pak troops had resorted to firing and shelling of mortar bombs on forward posts in Balakote sector of Poonch district from 11 am hours and it continued for some hours. The Mighty Pak Army had also initiated indiscriminate firing of small arms, automatic and mortar shells from 9.30 am yesterday on Indian Army posts along the LoC in Digwar area in Poonch sector. Heavy mortar shelling in Digwar area created fear psychosis among the residents. In the same area, a Junior Commissioned Officer (JCO), Naib Subedar S Sanayaima Som, was killed in an improvised bomb (IED) blast on April 1. There had been four ceasefire violations along the LoC in Poonch in March. |
