BSF, Pak Rangers meet, India says won't tolerate provocative incidents

January 25, 2018 18:33

The BSF and Pakistan Rangers today held a flag meeting along the International Border during which India registered its strong protest on the recent spate of firing from Pakistan, asserting that such "provocative" acts would "not be tolerated".

The Border Security Force said the sector commander-level meeting took place in Suchetgarh area of the border "on the request" of the Pakistani side.

A similar request by the Indian side was "not responded to" by the Rangers a few days back, official sources had said.

Thirteen persons -- seven civilians and six security personnel -- were killed and 65 others injured in Pakistani shelling along IB and LoC in Jammu region in the last 10 days.

The meeting was the first between the two sides since "heavy shelling and firing was experienced on the IB during the last week", the border guarding force said in a statement.
