India says soldier killed in cross-border firing
2013-10-24
[Pak Daily Times] Indian troops have intensified violations and resorted to unprovoked firing on the working boundary in Pukhlian, Chaprar, Harpal and Charwal sectors near Sialkot and targeted civil-populated areas during the last two days, said ISPR on Wednesday. Indian Border Security Force (BSF) has also targeted 27 Pak posts in the same area in the last two days and fired almost 4,000 mortar shells and 59,000 rounds of machine guns. "Pak troops have effectively responded to the Indian firing," an ISPR blurb said. Indian shelling has killed two civilians and a Rangers soldier, and injured 26 civilians on the working boundary and the Line of Control during the last two weeks. According to APP correspondent in Sialkot, indiscriminate heavy shelling on villages in Charwah sector of Sialkot Working Boundary from the Indian side intensified on Tuesday night. According to bigwigs of Chenab Rangers, Indian Border Security Forces used heaving machine guns and fired mortar shells killing dozens of cattle heads. Indian firing continued the whole night between Tuesday and Wednesday. "The Chenab Rangers retaliated effectively and responded in a befitting manner, forcing the Indian guns to become silent on Wednesday. Indiscriminate firing by BSF created panic among the villagers living along the Sialkot Working Boundary," the statement read.
