Heavy firing exchanges between Indian and Pakistan army continued in Naushera sector when last reports came in, defence sources said. Earlier on Tuesday, Pakistan resorted to indiscriminate shelling and firing on the LoC in two sectors of Jammu and Kashmir, a defence official said. The Pakistani army initiated the unprovoked firing in Bhimber Gali and Poonch sectors along the LoC, defence ministry spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Manish Mehta said. The firing started at 6.45 am, using small arms, automatics and mortars, to which the Indian Army retaliated “strongly and effectively”. The district administration in Rajouri has shut down 16 schools close to the LoC indefinitely. It has also ordered migration of the civilian population to safer places. The move came after a soldier and a child were killed on Monday in Pakistani shelling on the LoC in Rajouri. In Uri sector too, a soldier and two civilians were injured in ceasefire violation by Pakistan on Monday. With inputs from IANS
