ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: A Pakistani civilian sustained injuries when the Indian troops resumed unprovoked firing in the Rawalkot’s Battal Sector on the Line of Control (LoC) on Wednesday morning.
The security sources said that the civilian Ghulam Nabi belonged to the Alam Village.
They added that the Pakistan Army gave a befitting reply to the Indian shelling.
It was the second incident of cross border firing by the Indian border security (BSF) personnel within 24 hours.
On Tuesday, the BSF personnel resorted to unprovoked firing in Battal Sector on the LoC and killed a 20-year old Pakistani soldier Shams, according to the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR).

“20 years old Shaheed soldier sepoy Shamas is resident of Village Shanglot, Tehsil Gopis, Distt Ghizer, Gilgit Baltistan,” the ISPR said.
The cross border firing by the Indian troops continues despite three-day talks between the Director General Pakistan Rangers (Punjab) Major General Umar Farooq Burki and the Indian BSF Director General Devendra Kumar Pathak held in New Delhi from September 9 to 12 to reduce tension on the LoC and the Working Boundary.
During the talks, the two sides agreed to stop border violations along the LoC and Working Boundary, check smuggling and ensure expeditious repatriation of the inadvertent border-crossers.
