Jammu, Feb 15: The Army was on high alert on Thursday after a massive blaze erupted near the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir.
The incident was reported from Poonch district of the Union Territory.
The fire was doused, while the security forces noted no suspicious movement in the vicinity.
However, an alert was sounded as terrorists from Pakistan, in the recent past, have used such tactics to divert the attention of security forces to make infiltration attempts.
On Thursday, the Pakistan Rangers violated the ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan by resorting to unprovoked firing at a Border Security Force (BSF) post along the International Border (IB) in the RS Pura sector.
The residents of the area, where the ceasefire violation took place, said it was after a gap of more than a decade that they witnessed cross-border firing, which triggered panic among them.–(India Today)
