Jammu: In yet another ceasefire violation, Pakistani troops targeted Indian posts along the Line of Control (LoC) in Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir, forcing Indian forces to retaliate effectively.

Pakistani troops resorted to heavy firing of automatic and small weapons at Indian posts along the LoC in Mendhar forward areas in Poonch district around 23:45 hours yesterday, Defence Spokesman Munish Mehta said here Tuesday.

Indian troops guarding the border retaliated effectively with equal-calibre weapons resulting in intermittent exchange of fire, he said, adding that the "exchange continued in the forward area till 23:55 hours".

There was no death or injury to anyone on this side of the LoC due to the firing, he said.

Earlier on June 27, Pakistan troops resorted to heavy firing of automatic and small weapons at Indian posts along the LoC in Bhimbher Gali-Gambhir forward areas in Poonch.

Pakistani troops also violated the ceasefire along the International Border (IB) in Samba district on June 17 and 18.

On June 13, Pakistan troops had resorted to heavy firing of mortar shells and automatic weapons on Indian posts along the LoC in Mendhar-Bhimber Gali-Keri forward areas in Poonch district.

There were 19 incidents of ceasefire violation along the LoC in April-May.

In 2013, 12 jawans were killed and 41 others injured in ceasefire violations and firing by Pakistani troops on forward posts, civilian areas and patrolling parties along Indo-Pak border. The ceasefire violations last year were a record 149.

Pakistan_Surrender_1971_War.jpg

Come out of your nutshell as last time India/Pakistan came face to face was in 2002 when Pakistan didn't had to fight a thousand miles away with both Indian Army on borders and Mukti terrorists in the back yard at a ratio of 10:1 against it ....last time Pakistan waited a whole year but eventually the Indians turned tail....so dear laddie no point talking about 1971 in 2014 and while talking about Balochistan, keep in mind how tens of thousand Indian soldiers can't contain a few hundred freedom fighters in IOK.
Casualties[edit]
The standoff inflicted heavy casualties. 789 Indian soldiers were killed, a majority of them as a result of mine laying operations.[2] Further, the total Indian casualties were 1874, which include soldiers killed or wounded[3]

Cost of standoff[edit]
The Indian cost for the buildup was

216 billion (US$3.6 billion) being much greater than that of Pakistan's $1.4 billion.[26]

achaa so plz tell what ur army achieve in western sector, u lost more land & almost all battles :lol:, u were superior in almost all battle fought in western sector from longewala to basantar,still u lost & what does causalities on Indian side by Indian mistakes had to do with pakistan, cost of buildup will obviously be high on India side because of bigger military, what's ur point
The point is don't keep running back to salvage your lost pride, if you must then why not go back a little further to 1965 or 1962 and even 1947......
Last time it wasn't 1971 but 2002 when your army remained paralyzed on the border for a whole year and then withdrawing unilaterally, !!

in early June 2002 Pakistan agreed to immediately halt infiltration along the Line of Control, and eventually to dismantle Kashmiri militant training camps. Indian officials lifted a ban on overflights by Pakistani aircraft, pulled back warships from the Pakistani coast and selected a new ambassador to Islamabad. India awaited further steps by Pakistan, including the dismantling of militant training camps in the portion of Kashmir under Pakistani control and the severing of financial support for militant groups.

By 05 June 2002, despite the stand-off between India and Pakistan at Almaty and Defence Minister George Fernandes' assertion of non-withdrawal of forces from borders, there were indications that India may start the process of de-escalation at the international border any day after June 15 in the wake of "positive signals" from Pakistan. The de-escalation may begin from Kutch, Rajasthan and Punjab but army deployment would continue along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir.


Islamabad was believed to have taken steps to close down some militant training camps in Kashmir. Intercepts by Indian intelligence agencies reportedly indicated that Pakistan instructed its Tenth Corps to stop infiltration across the LoC.
On June 26, 2002, the US State Department noted that the very high level of tension between India and Pakistan that had existed at the end of May and the beginning of June had subsided somewhat. This condition followed intense diplomatic activity and important steps taken by both India and Pakistan to reduce tension. Nonetheless, military mobilization by the two countries remained in place along the Line of Control and the international boundary with the risk of renewed high levels of tension impossible to rule out.

The six-month standoff between India and Pakistan, which brought the two nuclear neighbours to the brink of war, had eased. But the return of peace was months away, pending Pakistan's putting an end to sponsoring cross-border terrorism, and the October polls in Jammu and Kashmir.


As of late August 2002 Indian officials insisted that infiltration by Pakistani-backed militants had declined but not ended. India will not engage in a dialogue with Pakistan over the future of Kashmir until cross-border terrorism stops.

Indian troops remained in place to reduce violence in Kashmir. India has stated that it will not demobilize its troops prior to the 14 October 2002 election in Kashmir. Until both nations pull back their troops, the danger of a massive war remains. On 09 September 2002 Indian External Affairs Minister Yashwant Sinha said that although the infiltrations declined in June, they had "gone up very, very significantly in the month of August."

On 16 October 2002 the Indian government announced that it would pull back troops from its border with Pakistan in its most substantial step to reduce a military buildup begun 10 months ago that helped bring the two nations to the brink of war. The pullback, expected to cover anywhere from 500,000 to 700,000 troops, will not affect troops stationed along the Line of Control in Kashmir.

Tensions between India and Pakistan over Kashmir continued to oscillate. As of May 2003 both governments expressed willingness to talk, and both re-established formal diplomatic relations. No time-line for the talks was established, the conciliatory moves from both countries was due to pressure from the international community. Specifically, pressure exerted by the US, Britain, and Russia.

On 25 November 2003 India and Pakistan agreed on a comprehensive ceasefire, coinciding with the start of the Eid festival which marks the end of the Muslim holy fasting month of Ramadan. This is the first formal truce between the two armies since the outbreak of militancy in Jammu and Kashmir five years earlier.

On 18 December 2003 Pakistan's president, General Pervez Musharraf, said his country was willing to drop its long-standing demands for the implementation of United Nations resolutions in a bid to end the Kashmir dispute. Musharraf said both India and Pakistan will have to show flexibility on the their stated positions on Kashmir if they want to settle the issue.
