An uneasy calm today prevailed along the 192-km long International Border in Jammu region as there has been no ceasefire violation by Pakistani troops since Thursday night.   

Eight persons have been killed and nearly 90 others injured in mortar shelling and firing by Pakistan troops from October 1-9 along the IB in Jammu, Samba and Kathua districts forcing over 32,000 people from 113 border hamlets to flee.   

"There have been no ceasefire violation from across the border along IB in Jammu region since Thursday night", Divisional Commissioner, Jammu division, Shant Manu told PTI.   

Manu said there was no firing and shelling by Pakistan along the borderline in Kathua, Samba and Jammu districts and there is peace along the border. The last ceasefire violation took place on Thursday night when there was brief firing by Pakistan on four border outposts in the Hiranagar sector of Kathua district.  

"It was peaceful overnight after long spell of shelling and firing", he said.
