Jammu:
At the Line of Control (LoC) in Akhnoor, the guns have fallen silent. Nobody is sure if this is a temporary reprieve. All of Tuesday, there was heavy exchange of fire between India's Border Security Force (BSF) and the Pakistani rangers. It finally ended early this morning.
One of the bullets shot from across the border hit Roop Singh. At the hospital where he is recovering, there is a sense of shock. "The situation is very bad here; people are in their houses and not coming out," says his father, Gajjar Singh.
This is the fourth ceasefire violation in the last two days.
Two Indian jawans have been killed in the last 24 hours; the BSF headquarters in Jammu have seen two wreath-laying ceremonies for the lives lost.
"Yesterday's incident was a bigger one, one BSF jawan was killed in the morning and another in the evening when he was checking the fence, this was followed by firing from Pakistan, the Border Security Force also retaliated," says senior officer PPS Sidhu.
