Well opening fire by Indian troops on Pakistani forces along LoC is one thing but in the past Indian army have been resorting to unprovoked firing on civilian population in Azad Kashmir from across the Line of Control
Many civilian Kashmiris were killed in such firing by Indians.
So tell me how to stop this ??
I wonder how many of us are aware of the pressures & psyche of a soldier on the LC staring across no man's land, wary of the unmarked minefield around him..living at the end of a tenuous logistic chain.
Jana, there are many ways to stop firing both unprovoked or otherwise but the method suggested by Webmaster is the surest way of NOT stopping it.
Coming back to the firing,.. such border incidents are the result of any / all of the following :
1. A cover to infiltration or to send / receive someone.
2. A result of a trigger happy soldier / young officer full of ' josh' & with high testosterone levels and a " I'll show them.." attitude.
3. A misunderstanding when patrols bump / clash into each other.
4. A reply to abuses which are invariably traded when posts are within earshot of each other.
5. An attempt to gain psychological ascendancy over the enemy , more so when one of the belligerents are new on their posts.
6. Testing preparedness.
7. A diversionary move.
A solution to any of these factors would help in answering ur Q. This is the best I can suggest under the circumstances.
Essentially, so long as motivated men fully armed to their teeth away from family & hearth are kept apart from each other in the manner we do such events will happen. They require to be contained & snuffed ASAP before an incident turns into an ugly conflagration.
Lastly, at the LC there are no Indians firing at Pakistanis or vice versa. Whoever gets a chance to inflict damage to the other will does so with no thought of where his bullet will hit or shell will land.
