Ceasefire Violation Along LoC

India has always respected the ceasefire agreement along the Line of Control but the Pakistan Army has been the "defaulter", Northern Command chief of the Indian Army Lt Gen Y K Joshi said on Thursday

The Indian retaliation came after Pakistani forces resorted to heavy shelling in several areas in north Kashmir, killing four security personnel and six civilians

The Army said the troops are well poised to defeat all attempts by Pakistan to infiltrate terrorists into J&K

A temple and some houses were hit as Pakistani troops violated ceasefire by resorting to unprovoked firing in different sectors along the International Border and Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir

Earlier today, Pakistan violated ceasefire by firing with small arms and resorted to intense shelling with mortars along LoC in Shahpur, Kirni and Degwar sectors in Poonch

A local said, 'Three members of my family died in shelling by Pakistan last month'

Lt Gen Raju said while the situation on the LoC was stable, the Army would ensure there will be no misadventure from across

India maintains that the UNMOGIP has outlived its utility and is irrelevant after Simla Agreement and consequent establishment of LoC

2017 has seen a sharp increase in ceasefire violations by Pakistan
