Another BSF jawan killed in Pak firing

Friday, 07 December 2018 | Mohit Kandhari | Jammu

One BSF jawan attained martyrdom along the Line of Control in Sunderbani sector of Rajouri on Thursday evening after Pakistan Army once again resorted to ‘unprovoked’ firing in the area.

In response Indian army is learnt to have retaliated strongly to silence roaring Pak guns.

After November 20, the line of control was witnessing relative calm.

During the Brigade Commander level flag meeting held at Chakan-Da-Bagh cross-LoC point on Poonch-Rawlakote route on November 23, both the sides had  discussed Confidence Building Measures (CBMs) to maintain peace on the LoC.

In a press statement BSF spokesman in Jammu said, "Pakistan  violated ceasefire along line of control in Sunderbani. During effective retaliation two BSF jawans received injuries  and were evacuated to a nearby hospital for treatment. According to BSF, Constable Prosenjit Biswas succumbed to his fatal injuries while another BSF jawan is undergoing treatment and his condition is stated to be stable.

Earlier, the second week of November 2018 had  witnessed intense exchange of firing along the line of control in the same sector in which Pakistan army had suffered huge damages. Indian army had lost at least four jawans in repeated incidents of sniping in the region.
