Jammu: Heavy mortar shelling and firing by Pakistani troops continued unabated along the International Border(IB) in Jammu and Kashmir on Wednesday killing two more people –both women–even as a “massive” reply was being given from the Indian side.

With the government coming under attack from the Opposition parties over its handling of the string of ceasefire violations by Pakistan, which continued , Prime Minister Narendra Modi said “everything will be fine soon” on the border.

The death toll in the firing after escalation of ceasefire violations by Pakistan for over a week rose to eight with the killing of a woman identified as Shukuntla Devi and her daughter-in-law Poli Devi. Fifteen more people have been injured in the firing taking to 75 the number of injured so far, officials said.

Government also said that India will continue to respond to Pakistan on the ceasefire violations according to the situation along the border and there won’t be any flag meetings. (PTI)
