Surgical strikes aftermath: Pakistan violated ceasefire 25 times last week! Here are the details

A week after Indian Army conducted surgical strikes and destroyed seven launch pads in Pakistan occupied Kashmir, Pakistan has stepped up cross-border firing and violated ceasefire at the Line of Control for at least 25 times. As Indian Army jawans are on high alert following the protocols issued by Ministry of Home Affairs, Pakistan is left red-faced on the international forum as not a single country has come forward to support them. Also in the wake of the increasing ceasefire violations at the LoC, the Border Security Force (BSF) has increased vigilance and had also deployed more troops at the international border (IB). People living near the border areas along the LoC, especially those living in Punjab’s International Border, have been evacuated and moved to safer places. In 2015, Pakistan violated ceasefire for at least 405 times in which 16 civilians were killed and 71 others were injured. Out of 405, 253 incidents of ceasefire violations took place along the IB and 152 incidents were reported along the LoC.
