Respect Ramzan sentiments, halt ceasefire violations: Mehbooba to Pak

JAMMU: Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti today asked Pakistan to “respect the sentiments” associated with Ramzan and end ceasefire violations along the border, as she met the affected people in the frontier areas.

Twelve people including two minor children and two BSF jawans were killed and over 60 people were injured due to shelling by Pakistan troops along the border in Jammu, Samba and Kathua in nine days, where over one lakh people have migrated from the IB. However, there has been a lull in the firing for two days.

The halt of security operations during Ramzan by the Centre “has led the people of the State to heave a sigh of relief,” the Chief Minister said, adding Pakistan should respond positively by bringing peace on the border.  (AGENCIES)
