SIALKOT: India’s Border Security Force resorted to unprovoked shelling on villages in the Chaprar sector along the Working Boundary on Friday morning.
According to the Punjab Rangers’ officials, the Indians started firing with small and big weapons at 2:15am which continued for 15 minutes. However, officials said, the firing didn’t cause any harm.
On Aug 28, 10 civilians lost their lives and 56 others were injured in Indian firing on Sucheetgarh, Harpal, Bajra Garhi, Charwah and Umeraanwali sectors of the Working Boundary.

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

Time we stopped shelling one another. Can't we just keep quiet and let people live in peace?

@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.
