Pakistani troops violate ceasefire in J&K ahead of PM's visit

Jammu: There is no end to provocation from across the border in Jammu and Kashmir.

Even as Prime Minister Narendra Modi prepared to visit Katra on Tuesday, Pakistani troops violated ceasefire along the International Border (IB) in Samba district.

PTI quoted a senior BSF officer as saying that Pakistani troops opened 4-5 rounds of fire on a forward post in Samba sector early this morning.

BSF troops retaliated in full measure, he said.

No loss of life or injury was reported.

BSF troops also picked up suspicious movement near a forward area in Samba sector and resorted to firing thereby forcing the person to flee, he said.
