"Even after the brigadier-level flag meeting, there were three ceasefire violations. They fired from small fire arms and also mortar shells," General Officer Commanding-in-Chief (GOC-in-C), Northern Command, Lt Gen K T Parnaik told reporters here.
The fresh incidents were reported in Mendhar, Balnoi and Uri. "We have not responded to these because they were not effective," he said, adding, "We are closely watching the developments" and that the Army has a "lot of options".
"We do not believe in reacting in haste and anger. We have our plans. We will react in time," he said.
He said at the flag meeting, the Pakistani side was in "denial mode". "Pakistan remained adamant, arrogant and not ready to accept anything. We told them we will continue to respect ceasefire but not if we are provoked," he said.
Responding to questions, he, however, said a war-like situation does not exist. "It is not good for Pakistan and we also don't desire it," he said.
On the January eight killing and decapitating of an Indian soldier by Pakistani Army regulars in Poonch sector, Parnaik termed it as an act of "grave provocation".
"We accused them of carrying out the barbaric attack, we insisted that the head (of Lance Naik Hemraj) be returned. We drew their attention to the frequent firing in the area," he said.
During Monday's meeting, he said the Indian side vehemently protested the beheading of the Indian soldier and also showed photographs of landmines placed by Pakistani troops on forward areas inside Indian territory.(MORE)
