Pakistan summons Indian envoy over ceasefire violation

Pakistan claimed that a 50-years-old woman was killed during the ceasefire violation along Line of Control while two others suffered critical injuries. Ahluwalia was summoned by Pakistan foreign office spokesperson Mohammad Faisal.

Islamabad: Pakistan on Wednesday summoned Indian Deputy High Commissioner Gaurav Ahluwalia and protested 'indiscriminate and unprovoked firing' by Indian forces along the Line of Control.

According to Pakistan's Foreign Office, the alleged ceasefire violation took place on Tuesday, and it resulted in the death of one civilian while three others were injured.

According to a report, a 50-year-old woman Noor Jahan was killed from indiscriminate and unprovoked firing by the Indian forces in the Nezapir and Bagsar sectors. One woman and two men sustained injuries from the firing.

It was the second time the Indian forces violated the ceasefire agreement in the past four days. On September 29, two civilians, including a woman and a teenage boy, were killed from shelling by the Indian forces. Three other civilians were injured, the report added.

Foreign Office spokesperson Mohammad Faisal said the Indian forces had frequently been targeting civilian populated areas with 'artillery fire, heavy-calibre mortars, and automatic weapons'.

This unprecedented escalation in ceasefire violations by India is continuing from the year 2017 when the Indian forces committed 1,970 ceasefire violations, he cited.
