Inspector General of BSF D K Upadhyay said that Pakistani Rangers, with an active support of Pakistan Army, are firing heavy mortars deliberately towards Indian civilian areas.
“Pakistani forces are firing heavy mortars deliberately towards Indian civilian areas. BSF never fires towards any Pakistani civilian area. We fire only towards military bunkers from where Pakistani forces fire. We have inflicted heavy damage on 14 Pakistani bunkers,” he said.
The senior officer of the Border Security Force also showed images of BSF’s firing which targeted only military bunkers in Pakistan.
