Pakistan violated ceasefire over 220 times since abrogation of Article 370


There have been over 220 ceasefire violations along the Line of Control between India and Pakistan following the Centre nullifying Article 370 and dividing Jammu and Kashmir into two union territories in early August. 

The data shared by security forces points to Pakistan’s regular attempts to ‘internationalise’ the Kashmir issue by carrying out ceasefire violations to not only dominate the Line of Control (LoC), but also provide cover to terrorists attempting to infiltrate into J&K, officials explained. The army has thwarted about 10 to 12 infiltration attempts made by terrorists operating from launch-pads near the LoC, following the changes made in the erstwhile state on August 5. 

In comparison, the first five days of this month witnessed around 49 ceasefire violations. This figure with the 222 violations since after August 5 total 271 violations this month, which is the second highest this year. The highest was in July- 296. There have been over 220 ceasefire violations along the Line of Control between India and Pakistan following the Centre nullifying Article 370 and dividing Jammu and Kashmir into two union territories in early August.

Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat has said that the retirement age of jawans in the Army, airmen in the Indian Air Force (IAF) and sailors in the Navy will be extended as it could benefit nearly 15 lakh men of all three armed forces.  “We are soon bringing a policy to extend the service profile of the men (forces nomenclature for troops) and have an increased minimum retirement age,” said General Rawat in an exclusive interaction with The Tribune yesterday. On being asked if he was looking to cut down the manpower costs as rising salaries and pensions were taking away a large portion of the budget, General Rawat said, “I am looking at manpower costs. Why should a jawan serve for just 15 or 17 years, why cannot he serve for 30 years? We are losing trained manpower.”  Easing fears that this policy would change the age profile of the fighting force, he said that the frontline combatant could be young. “We have an Army Medical Corps, why can’t the nursing assistant serve ...
