Indian guns fell silent as Chenab Rangers retaliated strongly.

SHAKARGARH (Dunya News) – In another LoC ceasefire violation, Indian forces resort to unprovoked firing on Bhopal Pur post in Shakargarh today (Wednesday). 

According to sources, no injuries have been reported so far.

On the other hand, Indian forces also fired mortar shells at Turkandi and Datot in Nakyal Sector. No one was hurt in the incidents.

Fear and panic grip the area after the incident.

The latest incident came almost two weeks after the prime ministers of the two countries pledged to restore calm on their disputed border in Kashmir, at a meeting in New York.

A deadly flare-up along the LoC in January brought a halt to peace talks that had only just resumed following a three-year hiatus sparked by the 2008 attacks in Mumbai that killed 166 people.

Pakistan and India each control part of Kashmir but claim it in full. The scenic Himalayan territory has been the trigger for two of the three wars between them.
