What is happening friends ? Is this mess getting serious ?

After a blatant violation of ceasefire along the LoC, firing continues across the Line of Control (LoC). This is the sixth ceasefire violation that has taken place at the LoC in the past three weeks. ( Watch ) On Monday afternoon, 10 to 15 Pakistani soldiers crossed the LoC in Kaiyan Bowl at Nowgam sector in Baramulla district and threatened an Indian surveillance detachment of five soldiers, keeping a watch in the area, at around 3.30 pm.:omg: The Pakistani soldiers had demanded that the Indian observation post be vacated. An Army jawan, Mahesh, belonging to 22 Rajput battalion got killed in the exchange of fire. His body has been recovered now. Indian troops came under heavy fire from across the LoC, when a patrol was moving from one observation post to another. Following the incident both India and Pakistan have convened a flag meeting to sort out the ceasefire violation issue. Pakistan is said to have suffered three to four casualties and the body of a Pakistani soldier is lying on the Indian side. Similar incidents have been reported from Bimbergalli, Gurez, Mendhar, Tangdhar and other sectors in the last two-three months, indicating that Pakistan army could well be back to its old strategy of providing "covering fire" to militants. On July 17, there were three violations in just one day. The first happened in Chakwali when Pakistani troops fired two rounds in the air. Later in the day, a jawan was critically injured after unprovoked fire on the Pona post in Mendhar. The third violation happened when the Pakistani army fired 40 rounds on Peer Post in Rajouri. On July 11, despite firing from the Pakistani side in Kishna-ghati area in Poonch, Indian troops did not retaliate.
