A Border Security Officer (BSF) soldier was killed as the Pakistan Rangers resorted to “unprovoked” ceasefire violation along the International Border (IB) at Samba in Jammu on November 9. This is the third such attempt in the past 24 days.
“The Pakistani forces targeted our posts thrice in Samba. We will chalk out a strategy to deal with cross border fire effectively in the future,” Director-General of BSF Nitin Agarwal said in the Valley.
He said the BSF gave a befitting reply to the Pakistani firing. “We have come to know about damages on that other side too. We are confirming the details. We are ascertaining the reasons behind frequent ceasefire violations by Pakistan and plan our strategy accordingly,” D-G Agarwal said.
