Agreement to maintain peace on border, India protests against Pakistan's provocation at the flag meeting

NEW DELHI: An agreement has been reached between India and Pakistan to maintain peace along the Jammu and Kashmir border. This was decided in a flag meeting held today between India's Border Security Force (BSF) and Pakistan Rangers. India strongly lodged a protest against Pakistan's provocation on the border.

"BSF delegation leader lodged a strong protest to Pak Rangers for unprovoked firing in the Arnia area in the night intervening 26-27 Oct. The meeting ended in a cordial atmosphere to maintain peace and tranquillity on the International border," said BSF PRO.

On Thursday, BSF retaliated to the unprovoked ceasefire violations by the Pakistani troops. The BSF's action came against the cross-border shelling by Pakistan Rangers in the Arnia area of the RS Pura sector and lasted around seven hours in the late evening.

On Oct 17, two BSF personnel were injured after Pakistan Rangers resorted to unprovoked firing on border guards along the IB at the Vikram BoP in the Arnia sector.
