The Indian Border Security Force (BSF) has violated the ceasefire agreement at the Charwa Sector of the Working Boundary for the first time since India and Pakistan decided to restore the truce on 25 February.
According to the Foreign Office Spokesperson, India violated the ceasefire on Monday, following which the Indian Charge d’Affaires was called to the Foreign Office to lodge a protest against the incident.
“The Indian BSF troops displayed aggressive behavior by crossing the Working Boundary and blatantly using mortars with an intent to sabotage the peace along Line of Control and Working Boundary.”
It was the “first serious and grave violation of Directors General Military Operation (DGMOs) understanding in 2021” by our neighboring country.
