Amid heightened ceasefire tensions, the border peace situation remains on the edge. After multiple ceasefire violations by Pakistani forces, the Border Security Force and the Pakistani Rangers did not exchange sweets at the Wagah border on the occasion of Eid this year, news agency ANI reported.
Earlier this week, four BSF soldiers were killed in cross-border firing in Chambliyal sector of Jammu and Kashmir. Indian security forces had also fired in retaliation, a BSF official said.
Two border security force personnel, including an officer, were killed when Pakistani Rangers targeted Indian posts along the International Border on June 2.
