No ceasefire violation has been reported along the international border and the LoC for the past three days, a senior BSF officer said today.
Since Friday morning (around 0400 hours), there has been no ceasefire violation, shelling or firing till this evening, the officer said, adding "amid clam, BSF continues to maintain high alert and vigilance along the IB".
The last incident of ceasefire violations was triggered by shelling and firing on early October 25 morning, in which three persons were injured when Pakistan Rangers targeted 17 Border Out Posts (BoPs) and civilians areas.
Security officials maintained there was daily firing by Pakistani troops along LoC and IB areas in Jammu and Kashmir since October 14 as was witnessed before the 2003 agreement.
