India ignores Pak calls for restraint

ISLAMABAD/SIALKOT/NEW DELHI -  Pakistan on Monday expressed serious concern over the continuous ceasefire violations by Indian border troops across the de facto border known as the Line of Control (LoC) over past couple of days.
The Foreign Office summoned the Indian Deputy High Commissioner in the afternoon and raised the issue of unprovoked firing by Indian troops which resulted in the death of a civilian in Donga Gambhir at Batal and Satwal sector.
But this civilised way of warning was probably not received well across the border as the India Border Security Force (BSF) again opened fire in Narowal Sector of the Working Boundary, wounding another civilian. Pakistan Rangers then returned fire to stop the aggression.
Also on Monday the Delhi and Mumbai offices of Pakistan International Airline (PIA) received security threats following which the Indian External Affairs Ministry assured Pakistan of provision of necessary security.
