More on Omar Abdullah's response to Pakistan's ceasefire violations.

Addressing police personnel on the occasion of Police Martyrs' Commemoration Day, the Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister said if Pakistan continued to violate the ceasefire, India will have to look at other options.

"If they violate the ceasefire, we won't respond by words only. We will have to find some other options. If our people living along the borders are being targeted, we also know how to respond in kind but so far we do not want to do it," he said.

Omar said the restraint exercised by India was to avoid sufferings for the masses. "We do not want that common people face problems but continued ceasefire violations will not be tolerated.

Today, villages are being deserted...people are leaving their farms, their houses and children are leaving their schools. The reason is that Pakistan is violating the ceasefire," he said.

Pakistani troops had last night opened fire at six forward posts of the BSF along the International Border(IB) in Jammu district.
