Ceasefire violations may figure at Indo-Pak Foreign Secretary talks

NEW DELHI: India is likely to raise the issue of ceasefire violations by Pakistani troops along the Line of Control ( LoC) in the Poonch area of Jammu and Kashmir during Foreign Secretary-level talks in July.

Two Indian troopers lost their lives and five others were injured in the unprovoked firing by Pakistani troops in the Krishna Ghati sector.

The issue is likely to be raised during the Foreign Secretary-level talks next month, army sources said here.

India has protested the ceasefire violations during a flag meeting on Saturday, they said.

There have been frequent and continuing ceasefire violations along the LoC in the Krishna Ghati sector of Poonch district in last fortnight in which two Indian soldiers were killed and five others critically injured.

India and Pakistan have been observing ceasefire along the Line of Control (LoC) since 2003.
