nice unbiased article by dawn,i am sure they are well aware who is responsible for initiating this violence too.

Surprise surprise!!! No fireworks exchanged here!! Where are the hardcore patriots!! Congratulations Dawn!! For publishing the images of both sides. Suffering looks similar, people look similar, what the dash even the mortar shells shown by both sides are same!! Who is it bombing us!! Us or they!! Grow up India Grow up Pakistan !! Dawn please do publish this!! JP Singj

congrats Dawn for publishing pics from indian side too..

There must be immediate cease fire along both sides to avoid any further losses regardless of violations blames from both sides as the false propaganda will continue and no body will know the real fact.

I salute you Dawn ...for your impartial journalism . Keep up the good work and make rulers of both countries open their eyes. Coz war will only bring pain and despair

Bravo Dawn, for publishing unbiased article.

The army on both sides is escalating issues to undermine attempts at peace. The more peace there is the less budget the army gets and the less their need. This reduces their influence and reach. This reduction in influence strengthens people as they realize the other side isn't evil but also human, trying to live and let live. We need more trading, more people to people contact, and reduction of this power struggle. It can only happen by opening up trading, easing border and visa restrictions and simply letting people be. They'll automatically start seeing who the real culprits are when they start meeting each other. @UnshacklePak

These photos vividly describe the plight of those affected by tit-for-tat fire exchanges by armies of both sides. One fails to understand what they gain by inflicting such cruelties on innocent civilians. It is time for sensible people on both sides to wake up and act.

sad sad sad

Let our leaders know on both sides no one wants this...loss is same innocent lives on both sides ...let's not learn the hard way.

A truely unbiased article by the Pakistani newspaper......

salute to dawn for showing both sides of the story.

Congratulations Dawn for publishing unbiased pictures from both side.

Appreciate this fair reporting

This is the right and best way to report. Just get the facts from both sides of the border and publish them for the knowledge of everyone. After that people can make their own judgments on right and wrong. I can only say one thing - it is shameful that civilians who don't even have sticks to guard themselves, most of whom are not even strong to stand on their own for an hour, are bearing the brunt!

To both sides----- this is no way of celebrating Eid and Dasehra.

its a great example of journalism...

The sad part was that I had to look at the description if it was Pak or India. What a shame!

Dawn is.....fair

Good to see the pictures of both sides and it's very good on Dawn's journalism!! To all Indians, this is how journalism is done and just before visiting dawn I visited TOI and found only one sided point of view with lots of hate. Pl learn from Dawn which indeed is a pakistani news paper.

its a great gesture of Dawn by showing our peoples suffering on both sides of borders

We salute you DAWN. keep showing the reality. Let common man understand who is instigating. Sufferings are same on both sides!!!

Both sides need to stop!! This is futile!! Innocent lives lost on both sides

We need to work together to stop these incidents. The lives of common people are being destroyed.

now maybe india's journalism needs to act in an unbiased and humanistic fashion and bring the plight of innocent people to the masses so they can eliminate this political driven hatred ... politicians that don't agree on issues shouldn't be given the free hand to create more misunderstandings ... indian media is wholly biased and even if Indians do not agree with me than just take a moment to review some of the NDTV anchors and their outtake on many controversial subjects involving the enemy PAKISTAN. India will never ever see Pakistan as their friend even if Pakistani's try so hard to live in peace with them because to an Indian they only see the extremist Pakistani which the Pakistani's themselves are a victim of all over. I have a lot of indian friends and I truly have never let politics ever come in the middle of our friendship but I have heard comments here and there I find to be very political and it does not bother me to a degree at which I would dissolve a friendship but I do hope that there are more people that open their minds to the possibility that this old age conflict is all about money and job security for the politicians and soldiers and the military equipment manufacturers ..

Two nations from one of the oldest civilization heaping brutalities on each other's civilians. One has to be provocator and the other provoked. The eye for eye and tooth for.tooth is getting too far. Hope it doesn't go out of control.

Full compliments to Dawn. It is a balanced Newspaper and an epitome of journalism.. please take in Arnab Goswami under your wings for some time and train him :)

Its the Dawn of the Modi era!

@ Acho Billa.. your comment should really show us the mirror... both sides the villages and villagers look the same.. they are far away from the affluence of Mumbai and Karachi and the power centers of Delhi and Islambad/Rawalpindi- however they become the pawns in these games. If you did not have the description you could not make out who is who.. and I I wonder how much their lives have really changed in their respective promised lands since 1947!

Salute to Dawn for true journlism and publishing sufferings on both sides of the sad border ... I hope those responsible on both sides, for this suffering of innocent, poor, helpless public, wake up their conscious, take a pause and realize that their policies and actions are inflicting pain and suffering, they are wasting resources and energies that these very people desperately need to build their lives, communities and bright future on both sides of the border. One country can not move to a different location to chages its neighbours and one can not buy peace through violance ... People, lives, dreams are same on both sides. So called leaders, please grow up and serve your public for what you were elected for by hook or crook.

Wish it becomes mandatory for such images to be published each time we see such violence. I had to actually scroll down to determine if the photo was Indian or Pakistani. Perhaps we should withhold the caption and purely see the human suffering...

Congrats Dawn for maintaining the ethics in journalism.

@Moiz Omar ,,Yes, it is really greatness on the part of Dawn, they are showing stories from both sides. I have copied the URL and going to paste on comments on biased sites, indian or Pakistani.

Well I never thought I would say this but there is one thing where India can learn a lesson from Pakistan. And that is unbiased and ethical reporting. Thank you Dawn. PCI can learn a lot from you.

Dawn is one of the respected newspapers, no doubt of it! Its indeed a sad game played in the name of religion as well J&K that many lives has lost, many lives has devastated and damages made. Stop day dreaming and take ground realities in this modern world for betterment of all human life of both sides of the nation which has a shared history and heritage! Give peace a chance!

I can't understand why this is happenings! Feel sad for the familys on both side. Poor people get hurt for no reason.

Though I'm an Indian & regularly read Dawn online.I must admit quality of journalism of Dawn is quite high compared to most of Indian print media. I congratulate their team, in India The Hindu was known to maintain high standards but sorry to say they are becoming narrow minded day by day. Coming to this firing along Indo-Pak border incident I don't know where & when this will end. Economy of India was showing signs of recovery after 7-8 years, incidents like this are going to drain our budget & indirect burden will be borne by the common man. Lets get mature and move on with life. Countries who are into arms trade will benefit from this; both of us are going to loose because both of us import most of our defense equipment from the same country.

The article is really touching.

Thanks dawn for looking at both sides of the coin. Unbiased reporting by dawn is highly commendable. Only the poor on both the sides suffer, the real culprits escape. have you seen a kid who asks for a chocolate and promises he wont ask again. here chocolate is kashmir. Both the sides are claiming entire kashmir is theirs. Ironically Both the sides are killing the innocent kashmiris. What common man will gain if Kashmir becomes part of India or kashmir becomes part of pakistan, absolutely nothing. We should cooperate with each other start living like good neighbours and like brothers as we lived when we were in a single country.

Good that Dawn has published photos from both sides. The sad part is still no solution for this problem. Need to punish the people who started this ceasefire violation.

Unbiased journalism Dawn!!! It is unfortunate that common people are suffering along the both sides of border. Political authority ,and not army, in both countries should find solution to end this.

Kudos dawn. . Appropriating job done!

Nice Article Dawn

@Zee .... Indians have their own way to show appreciation.......notice how many Indians are openly saluting Dawn, the Pakistani news paper?

Wow...unbiased article from pakistani newspaper...Kudos to them!

What do we get by killing each other ??? Think about all those family members who lost their dear ones in this firing. Both shd imm stop firing at each other

Nice article. India pak should sort it out before anyone uses the condition for their purpose

When two bulls fights, only the small animal suffers.

So apparently no one was injured in Pakistan?

garib insaan ka bahut looksan hota hai... is ko dekh kar dukh hota hai...

I m surprised too this is absolute impartial example of journalism. The firworks must be stopped immediately

Congrats Dawn for unbiased reporting. I read at various media outlets. So far Dawn one of the best in terms of independent and objective reporting. I hope it will help to remove ignorance.

And thats why i have so much love for you DAWN!! Thank you for your unbiased reporting!

Dawn's another report says that there have been civilian causalities in Pakistan. However the photo round up above gives the impression that only Indians have been injured. I do not disagree with covering both sides of the conflict, but this should be done in a balanced way. I do not know why my earlier comment was not posted, it was simply a question about civilian casualties on Pakistani side of the border.

I wish Indian media starts reporting like dawn. Instead, it has gone bollywood with fictional stories.

Thanks for the unbiased article. These articles will help people view the real scenario in ground and support human values keeping aside politics.

Alas if our leaders could learn in this no win game. Only the poor and helpless suffer.

These are the poorest of the poor. What insanity targeting civilians. Why don't engage in a nuclear exchange next?

@Zee Not all Pakistani newspapers are dawn, not all Indian newspapers are ToI. If you want more biased coverage, listen to Arnab but not every Indian thinks like Arnab does for Pak policy.

let senses should prevail on India and Pakistan to avoid blood shed.Two nations can not afford another war

First, as an Indian I want to say how impressed I am with Dawn. It is heartening to see sensibility displayed by Dawns in this mad conflict. The blame goes for both sides. If you want to display your manliness, I say eradicate poverty. Provide cleaning drinking water. Eliminate corruption. Instead, political class from both sides, who have nothing to loose, are indulging in this foolish exercise. It pains and hurts to see common folks suffering on both sides. When i look at the pictures on pakistani side, i see my mom, dad, brothers, sisters and friends. I see the same on Indian side. When are we ever going to treat each other with respect. We are the poorest of the poor people and we are shelling each other with expensive military hardware. What madness

Excellent reporting by Dawn. Quite balanced with vivid pictures.

Xlent presentation of the facts, unbiased.

I Salute Dawn for this unbiased article ... we need more journalists like you... Dawn feels better than Times of India today......

@Unshackle Pakistan And allowing Terrorists to come and bomb...so funny man.

Impartial unbiased! This is the true spirit of journalism. I solute Dawn for showing reality from both sides. Great .............

So much is being done in the world... Other countries are progressing...Scientists are inventing new stuffs for mankind winning Nobel...Have these countries people won Nobel for the time immemorial...holding knives against each other since their inception...when will this end...may parents and grand parents did not see this end...I do not foresee a solution in my lifetime...Fighting for a piece of land I see these two great countries reduced to foolish brothers fighting for their claims on a piece of ancestral land....

Pakistanis are suffering too.

A great example of journalism, portraying pain of both sides. See TOI news. India is attacking solders, Pakistan is attacking civilians!!!

I hate this Pakistani obsession with fairness. I can assure you in Indian new reports you will not see many pictures of injuries on Pakistani side. In fact, they would create lies just to show us in evil light. Who cares whats happening on the other side when my own people are getting killed. Please, develop a sense of self worth.

Proud moment ...keep this spirit alive DAWN u have history of the unbiased reporting. Gratitude.

First, Thank you DAWN for unbiased reporting. Each and every minutes we, the peace loving people, are being killed. Violence, war, hatred never helps... Urging for sensible people on both sides to wake up and act.

India believes in peace, in last 1000 years India has never raised sword against anyone to attack, but not at the cost of mortality of its civilians & its freedom, we do not want peace if our neighbours do not want to maintain it on border. Ball is in your court now..

Sad to see innocent die, In Kargil also, it was a pseudo war by PAK army and PAK army General boasted his victory in Indian territory. what was the result back to LOC.

Appreciate your way of Journalism...some times I am ashamed of ours! Specialy Arnav Goswamy...Invite Pakistani Guest and don't alow them to speak whatever their opinion and hatered against India...We must respect and listen to their opinion for which the debate is called for... Well done

@Zee a small correction, its the papers that need to learn unbiased journalism, we indians look for news from both sides. Many indians commenting here is an example of it. The reason why Indian media does not show Pak side is because, it wants to show that BSF has not responded

It is difficult to differentiate between the two sides Military :: who is more macho sadistic & fools ( both) People:: who have suffered less ( neither) Shame:: to both sides

Good journalism. One cant tell one people apart from the other until one reads the caption. Yet, both suffer. Sorry to see people of one region, one culture suffering death and injury for no fault of theirs. There have to be an understanding between the opposing sides that under no circumstances will civilian areas will come under fire.

Great job Dawn.

Pakistan and India. Look at who is dying here. Press the ALL STOP button right now.

@being human who are "THEY", my dear fellow citizen of the Earth?

a ceasefire must be implemented soon by both side

My question is that why poor people are suffered by fighting of two countries . The government of India and Pakistan don't feel to the suffering of the people by this fighting What they want to achieve . The both countries should create friendly , brotherhood among the people of both nations . In our countries there are poverty ,hunger, unemployment , lack of Education Health , Housing problem The duty of both countries is to concentrate to solve the problem of the people , not to fight . The country is spoiled by sentimental talk Kashmir is our and Kashmir is our This sentiment can't give us food and to remove the poverty .. Whatever we have energy , resources to use for the development of the people ____Subodh Sinha

We are of same descent. Right from vedic period the people are being taxed of minimum 12 per cent regardless of type of Government. Ultimately common man is the victim. Please dont kill Him. Let Him live. DONT FIRE.

Kudos to dawn for ceasefire , joking , but where has indian media shown bitterness and why ? We indians have really exhausted in justifying pak actions and immediately upon one more pseudo handshake nd we forget all injuries to sing hussaanah

Good balanced journalism from the fourth estate across the border. I wish times now and that punk Goswami reads it

It's unbiased reporting,congratulation for this.We don't know what happened on the ground and its very difficult to actually get the info.Whoever has first fired had not done a good thing but as well we should look at what was by the responder,this certainly should be curtailed.I would really propose a solution to the head of both the nation as when the incidence of first firing occurs the suffering country should immediately take to the highest level to put a check and if the highest authority is unable to curtail then there is no other option left for the suffering country to protect its country and then only the firing should start on the both side. But there should be penalty also imposed on the first country and that need to be agreed between both these nation.Such ceasefire violation would certainly incur huge cost on both the countries.One is in the present form like of bullets and other ammunition and other in form of anticipation of such occurrence in the future. Both the countries should also need to build a forum which should have enough of powers to take decision against the ceasefire violaters of their country. Both the countries need to remember the words of Father of the nation of India,Mahatma Gandhi,an eye for an eye make the world blind.It is not in interest of both these countries as they need to buy ammunition and third country will only be benefitted.The benefiting country from such purchases would really not want peace in this region as it would impact their economy.Its upto the government of both these nation to take a call on whom they want to benefit, to their people or to the people of other country.

Full marks to Dawn for showing the courage to show both sides of the pictures. Hope we all can open our eyes.

great news paper . unbiased and true . god bless u

@Unnikrishnan

Can't believe one can read such an impartial and a rational newspaper in Pak. Dawn deserves a big round of applaud. The facts and the conclusions shown are unanimously correct and needs a high level of courage in Pak's locality.

Kudos to dawn. Unbiased journalism is the fresh air that breathes new life and new thinking in the citizenry. My congratulations to the author and the editorial staff.

@Unshackle Pakistan good

@Unshackle Pakistan good

Indian violation of LOC is direct result of weak leadership of Nawaz Shareef. India does not understand voice of peace. China gave India the beating of their life. Despite frequent violation of border India don't dare to respond. India keep on interfering in Blochistan and Pakistan turned their back on Kasmir support. Prime Minister Nawaz Shareef and his brother Shebaz Shareef just interested in promoting their own business and failed to build political consensus among various political parties. Pakistan needs a strong leadership to deal affectively with India. The deteriorating of law and order situation within Pakistan encouraging external forces to intervene. Time to say audio to Shareef brothers.

Good Journalism,Both sides should understand "NAFRAT KO SIRF PYAR MAR SAKTA HAI"

Among all pakistani newspapers, Dawn probably is more unbiased. enjoyed reading about Shahbaz Qalandar. and pictures were very nice. I wish both countries will realise the importance of peace. Only a dream I guess as long Alqaida and ISIS and Talibans are around.

@Zee Dont read TOI. It is a hopeless news paper. I still agree that none of the Indian news papers have un-biased civilian report.
