DGMO India warns Pak counterpart over ceasefire breaches

Jammu, Apr 30: Director General of Military Operations (DGMOs) India on Wednesday warned Pakistan regarding the continued ceasefire breaches and expressed concern over the unprovoked firing along the Line of Control and International Borders.
The DGMOs of India and Pakistan held discussions over the hotline to address the ongoing violations.
“During the conversation, India expressed concerns about the unprovoked firing by Pakistan and issued a warning regarding the continued ceasefire breaches,” said an official.
Meanwhile, for the sixth consecutive night Pakistani troops resorted to unprovoked firing along the Line of Control (LoC) and International Border in four districts of Jammu region and in North Kashmir, official sources said.
They said that Indian forces ‘responded effectively’ and gave a befitting reply. “The firing with small arms was reported from the Pargwal sector along the IB in Jammu district and the Sunderbani and Naushera sectors in Rajouri district,” officials added.
Pertinently, after the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that left 26 people, mostly tourists dead, “India and Pakistan armies have been on high alert amid heightened tensions along the borders and the LoC.”
“On the night of April 29-30, Pakistan Army posts initiated unprovoked small-arms fire across the Line of Control opposite the Naushera, Sunderbani, and Akhnoor sectors in the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir,” a defence spokesperson in Jammu said.
The Indian Army troops responded swiftly and proportionately, he added.
Similar incidents of unprovoked small-arms fire were also reported from Pakistani posts across the LoC in Baramulla and Kupwara districts in Kashmir, officials said,
“Initially, the firing began in Kupwara and Baramulla districts and then spread to the Poonch and Akhnoor sectors. It further escalated to the Sunderbani and Naushera sectors in Rajouri district, followed by firing along the IB in Jammu’s Pargwal sector,” they added. (KNO)
