In the backdrop of tensions along the 778 -km LoC easing a little, with no major ceasefire violation being reported over the last few days, Antony reviewed the situation along with national security advisor Shiv Shankar Menon, Army chief General Bikram Singh, IAF chief Air Chief Marshal N A K Browne, Navy chief Admiral D K Joshi and defence secretary R K Mathur.
Though India has already recorded 236 ceasefire violations this year, the highest over the last decade, no serious firing incident has occurred across the LoC since the one at the Mendhar sector on October 23. While 184 of the violations occurred across the LoC, 51 were recorded along the 198-km stretch of the international boundary (IB) in J&K.
It is still not clear whether the junior commissioned officer killed in the Jhelum Valley region in the Uri sector in the early hours of Monday, Subedar Prakash Chandra of 8 Kumaon, died as a result of firing by Pakistani soldiers or some terrorists trying to sneak across the border.
"Subedar Chandra was leading an area domination patrol from our Bhim post when he was hit in firing of UBGLs (under-barrel grenade launchers) from across the border. The firing, however, did not originate from the Pakistani Army post in the area," said an officer.
India has already conveyed its strong concerns to Pakistan about the major spike in ceasefire violations in recent months during the weekly hotline talks between the two director-generals of military operations. While assessing the situation, the government has kept on hold till now the proposed meeting between the two DGMOs, which was agreed to during the Manmohan Singh-Nawaz Sharif meeting in New York last month.
