SIALKOT, May 11: Two villagers sustained serious injuries on Sunday in another landmine blast in a village of the Sialkot Working Boundary’s Shakargarh-Narowal sector.
Sources said Muhammad Shafiq (33) and Ghulam Qadir (32) were passing through the fields when they stepped over an anti-person landmine which went off, injuring both of them seriously. They were admitted to Sialkot CMH in critical condition.
Meanwhile, the Indian troops continued unprovoked firing with light and heavy machine guns on Pakistani border villages in Sialkot and Narowal districts. As a result, several houses and empty cattle sheds were damaged in villages of Chhumb, Joriyan, Bajwat, Chaprar, Umranwali, Jammu, Saamba, Akhnoor and Shakargarh-Narowal sectors.
No casualty or injury has yet been reported. The Pakistani security forces responded effectively, causing heavy defensive losses to the enemy, sources said.
WARNING: The Sialkot tehsil municipal administration (TMA) has given two months to people to shift their animals voluntarily to outside the city.
The Tehsil Nazim said that only those cattle owners having separate outhouses for cattle would be allowed to keep their animals in the city.
He also warned that owners would be fined heavily if their animals were found wandering on city roads. The TMA had no land available for the early construction of a Gawala Colony in the outskirts of the city, he added.
