DK Upadhyay, Inspector General of BSF said, Pakistani border guarding force have resorted to heavy mortal shelling deliberately towards Indian civilian areas along the International Border.
Addressing a press conference, Upadhyay said, "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."
Upadhyay further added that, if there was any civilian casualty in Pakistan, it was only because, the civilian population live very close to the military bunkers that might have resulted in "collateral" damage. However, BSF's senior officer even showed images of firing, which targeted only bunkers, but not civilians.
