J&K: Pakistan violates ceasefire again

#J&K: Pakistan violates ceasefire again
Jammu, Jan 6 (IBNS): In a fresh ceasefire violation, the Pakistani troops once again resorted to heavy firing at five Border Security Force (BSF) posts in Jammu's Hiranagar sector and two BSF posts and civilians in Kathua sector on Tuesday, reports said.
Amid ceasefire violations, BSF  Director General D.K. Pathak earlier in the day said they will respond if Pakistan targeted them.
 
"We want peace but it can't be just from one side," Pathak told media.
 
"We will not remain silent if they target us," he said.
 
Pakistani troops continued to fire from across the international border in Jammu and Kashmir targeting 45 BSF posts on Monday night.
 
The heavy shelling forced about 10,000 people near the border area to flee their homes. Sources said that schools and colleges were closed for an indefinite period and the ongoing examinations for Class XI were also put off.
 
The Pakistani shelling over the last few days extended to as much as 3.5 km inside Indian territory in some places like Chakra, Sherpur and Londi, reports said.
 
As many as 15 Indian posts were attacked by the Pakistan Rangers in Samba and Hiranagar on Monday killing one BSF jawan. One woman was killed and 10 other civilians injured in ceasefire violations by Pakistani troops earlier this week.
 
Sources said that new relief camps were opened at Sallan, Chhankhatryan, Chak Haria and Upper Londi to cater to residents who had been evacuated due to heavy shelling along the border areas.
