SIALKOT: The Indian Border Security Forces (BSF) resorted to unprovoked and intensified mortar shelling on border villages here on Monday.
No injury or death was reported in the fresh spell of Indian shelling that started at about 1am and continued intermittently till 6am.
The Chenab Rangers retaliated in a befitting manner, making the Indian guns silent, senior CR officials said.
They said the Indian BSF again targeted the civilian population in villages of Bajra Garhi, Umeraanwali, Harpal, Mairajkey and Charwah sectors of the Working Boundary. Some people said several mortar shells which landed on fields could not explode. They said bullets and mortar shells also hit several empty houses, damaging them further.

If India is putting the blame on Pakistan, it is because the army and ISI wants to infiltrate terrorists into Kashmir and now that can never happen because India won't tolerate anymore.
So stop adopting the army think-tank ways and go for peaceful discussions with main agenda Trade, Investments and Tourism.

Has there been one single time in the last 60 years when Pakistan has reported that India has fired after "provocation" from Pakistan? Is not, this is all humbug, baloney as they say.

Will this vicious cycle ever end? Will the two nations ever learn to live in peace? Will the smiles ever come back on the faces of their unfortunate citizens? Can the leader and people of these nations ever address these questions? Or is it going to end in annihilation of both? Or is it our common destiny to be born together and die together? Can anyone give answers of these questions.

How the World know as to the truth....best thing Pakistan or India can do is put live cameras on the LOc and World will be able to see who started what and blame will go in that direction.
We hear both sides blame each other but camera will solve this problem.
On the other hand neighbors should never fight and India and Pakistan should spend more money on education than buying guns.

@ Dinesh Singh
Don't worry about finding answers to your question. It is high time that people forget these friendship tunes and settle once for all. No need to shed tears, just think how you can contribute in harming the enemy - same for Pakistanis. Jo Jeeta Woh Sikander.

@Balata Dear friend your answer smacks of conceit. You are forgetting that lives of millions is involved. Or do you think when they fire at each other, they are playing hide and seek game.

And Pakistanis are castrated enough to teach them an eternal lesson to conclude this threadbare hostility to its logical end. In spite of having every possible source beside an unwavering courage and zeal of Pak Army. Are our weapons and strategic assets just for decoration O emasculated leaders?

To stop Militants entering India.
What is the advantage of Shelling by Pakistan Military?
To push militants into Indian Soli.

Blame, counter-blame, blame game. The one reporting first is the winner even if he does it before the attack . When will we be able to believe in the news. Maybe the casualties can give lead in some cases.

@Zak Delhi is a state. We have 28 states. It is not a full fledged state because it is the national capital. Nothing changes for Modi he is still a powerful PM. Now we have a powerful CM in Delhi. So either way the people win. If Kejriwal cleans up Delhi and kills corruption, all people will benefit. A little competition is good for India.

if India wants to infiltrate to pak why should india build a high security border fencing with fed light through the area which cost millions of dollars.
we have the problem so we build the border fencing wall for our security.
if you have a problem why you have not build the border fencing like us so far?
