Pakistan violates ceasefire as Manmohan returns after meeting Sharif
Jammu : Pakistani troops fired at Indian positions on the line of control (LOC) in Mendhar sector of Poonch district in Jammu and Kashmir, in yet another violation of the bilateral ceasefire, a defence spokesman
The unprovoked firing by Pakistan troops, in yet another violation of the bilateral ceasefire agreement signed by India and Pakistan in November 2003, has coincided with the return of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh from the US where he met his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif.
The two prime ministers had agreed to work out a more effective mechanism to stop ceasefire violations on the borders between the two countries in divided Kashmir.
