Jammu: After overnight firing along the Line of Control, fresh ceasefire violation by Pakistani troops has been reported on Tuesday afternoon in Poonch sector of Jammu region.
Reacting to the repeated violations by Pakistan, Home Minister Rajnath Singh said, "We want to secure our borders. Pakistan had started action on the border, we have told Pakistan to stop ceasefire violation or else India will give a befitting reply. Pakistan should understand this."
The Ministry of Home Affairs also asked the Border Security Force to seek a flag meeting with Pakistan over continuous ceasefire violations along the LoC, said sources. Earlier in the day, BSF submitted a report to the MHA on the situation, sources added.
Firing has been on since October 5. Five civilians have been killed and 34 others injured in shelling by Pakistani troops on Monday in Jammu's Arnia sector.
In the last flag meeting in August both sides have agreed to avoid such a situation.
Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju said that corrective measures have been taken and there was nothing to worry about.
Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said that that the ceasefire violations were a reflection of an unstable government in Pakistan.
