After remaining peaceful for about four months, the Line of Control (LoC) between India and Pakistan is once again hotting up.
Two Indian Army jawans were martyred, while two terrorists were eliminated during a fierce gunfight near Dadal village of Sunderbani along the LoC in Rajouri district on Thursday. Since February 25, 2021, the day India and Pakistan had decided to strictly adhere to the ceasefire agreement no major incident of terrorist related violence was reported along the LoC.
Even Army Chief General MM Naravane on July 1 had maintained that there had been a marked change since the ceasefire agreement as there had been no infiltration from across the LoC.
According to official sources, “After infiltrating inside the Indian territory, a group of terrorists had been hiding in the area since June 29. Soon after their movement was recorded in the forward area the counter infiltration grid was activated and a massive cordon and search operations were launched in the thickly forested area to track down their footprints.
