Pak summons senior Indian diplomat
Islamabad: Pakistan on Tuesday summoned India’s Charge d’Affaires Gaurav Ahluwalia to register its protest over the alleged ceasefire violations by the Indian forces along the Line of Control (LoC).
The Foreign Office said in a statement that indiscriminate and unprovoked firing in Tandar sector of the LoC on Monday killed three persons while another was injured.
The Indian forces “along the LoC and the Working Boundary (WB) have been continuously targeting civilian populated areas with artillery fire, heavy-caliber mortars and automatic weapons,” it alleged.
