India detains Pakistani soldiers



The army in Indian-administered Kashmir says it has briefly detained two Pakistani soldiers who inadvertently strayed over the Line of Control.

The pair were caught in the Pallanwala sector, 50km (31 miles) west of Jammu city, a military spokesman said.

The soldiers were returned as a goodwill gesture after a meeting between officers of two sides, he said.

Such incidents are extremely unusual along the heavily fortified dividing line between the two neighbours.

The two Pakistani soldiers crossed over to the Indian side on Wednesday evening and were handed back on Thursday afternoon.

Pakistan's military confirmed the incident and played down its significance.

Both India and Pakistan claim Kashmir in its entirety.

Two of their three wars since independence have been over the disputed region. A ceasefire has been observed since 2003.

Nod to border electric fencing

NEW DELHI, March 19 (PTI) — In the wake of stepped-up operations by militants, the government has given the go-ahead for electric fencing of 195 km of the international border between Jammu and Sialkoat in Pakistan on a "crash basis" after identifying it as "most vulnerable" to infiltration by mercenaries.

The government has thought of facing border lying in Jammu and Kashmir for the first time.

This stretch of border from Palanwala in the Chamb sector to Madhopur on the Jammu and Kashmir-Punjab border, official sources said, was prone to be "most used" by Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) for its "high voltage infiltration".

Officials said the Rs 28 crore project, which had been accorded topmost priority by the Home and Defence Ministries was unlikely to have a smooth-sailing as the Pakistani forces had been very active in the region.

Last year alone, according to figures placed in Parliament, as many as 2,896 firing incidents were reported in the region and in the first two months of the year, 400 incidents were reported, indicating that the fencing work would face heavy disruption from across the border.

The government has set a target of three years for the project, which, when completed, would add up to 1,682 km of electrified international border between Pakistan and India.......
