The Pakistani Rangers joined by Pakistan Army on January 5 resorted to heavy mortar shelling and firing using long range weapons targeting about 28 BSF posts and more than 70 border villages in Hiranagar and Samba sectors, reports Daily Excelsior. Sources said “It was virtually a war like situation with sound of mortar shell explosions and firing with heavy automatic weapons shaking not only Hiranagar and Samba sectors but even the towns and the National Highway. This was for the first time that mortar shells landed four kilometers inside the border and exploded outside the houses and in the fields, causing heavy loss of property. This clearly indicated that the Pakistan Army has replaced the Rangers in most of the posts in Sialkot sector opposite Samba and Hiranagar to target the BSF posts and civilian areas on the Indian side. The long range weapons used in firing mortar shells deep inside the Indian villages are in possession of Pakistan Army only and not the Rangers.” Intelligence inputs also suggested that the Rangers have been replaced by Pakistan Army after former’s complete failure on the IB.
