OK this is the news which is common these days. I wonder when are we going to hear that two armies exchanged sweets, wished each other and in addition that the news should be like villages of the border region are free from shelling and trade between tw sides increased from a while

@Indian
Please read the international papers for the true story of both sides. You people are educated and rational please don't support these innocent deaths only because you are Indian.
Be fair my friend and think like a human being!
