BSF dismisses Pak's complain, says no wall being built along border

September 29, 2015 12:33

Inspector General Border Security Force Rakesh Sharma today said that India was not constructing any wall along the Line of Control.

"No concrete wall being constructed anywhere by the Indian side on the International Border in Jammu and Kashmir," IG BSF told PTI.

Pakistan has complained to the United Nations Security Council alleging that India was building a wall along the International Border in violation of the world body's resolutions.

Pakistan's Ambassador to the United Nations Maleeha Lodhi has written two letters dated September 4 and 9 to the UNSC. In the September 9 letter to president of the Security Council, Russian Ambassador Vitaly Churkin, Lodhi expressed "deep concern" at the plan by India to construct a 10 meter-high and 135 feet-wide embankment (wall) along the 197-kilometre working boundary between Jammu and Kashmir and Pakistan.
