LAHORE: In yet another incident of cross-border firing, Indian forces started unprovoked firing at Pakistan near the Line of Control (LoC) on Tuesday.
According to Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), Indian forces started the firing near Chirikot area, aimed at the local village population.
An 87-year old woman, busy in her household chores, was struck by a bullet in her neck. She died on the spot.
Just last week, Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa visited the area.
Such incidents of cross-border firing from the Indian Army near the LoC have increased drastically. Earlier, during his visit to the area, PM Abbasi condemned this approach usually taken by the Indian army and termed it as “unprofessional”. He also extended his support to the local population of the area when he met them.
