Pakistani troops violated the ceasefire along the Line of Control (LoC) in Poonch District on January 1, but there were no casualties or damage on the Indian side, reports Daily Excelsior. “There was firing by Pakistani troops from 9 am along LoC in Shahpur sub sector of Poonch district today (January 1),” official sources said. The Indian troops retaliated and there was a brief exchange of firing, they said, adding there were no casualties. The firing took place in Shahpur sector of Poonch for about an hour. There was slight panic among the people during the firing but it subsided as bullets stopped within an hour. Earlier, on December 30, 2016, a civilian was killed as Pakistan army indulged in heavy cross-border firing targeting Indian positions and civilian areas along the LoC in Poonch sector, prompting the Indian side to give a befitting reply. The 2003 India-Pakistan ceasefire agreement has virtually become redundant with a whopping over 300 incidents of firing and shelling along LoC and International Border (IB) in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) by Pakistani troops that resulted in death of 27 people, including 14 security personnel, since the surgical strike on terrorist launch pads in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) on September 28-29 in which over 50 Pakistani militants and army personnel were killed.
