The heavily militarized Line of Control (LoC) and Working Boundary have witnessed sporadic skirmishes and artillery duels since the alleged Indian ‘surgical strike’ last September, in violation of the 2003 Ceasefire Agreement signed by both countries.

Protests were held in the area against the “apathy of the state and the government towards the plight of the people living along the LoC” after the incident.

Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi condemning the incident has expressed sorrow over the lost of precious lives.
