KASHMIR WATCH

Torching of schools a new worry

It has become a hobby for the Pakistani troops to resort to unprovoked ceasefire violations. Since the surgical strike during the night of September 28-29 there have more than 65 ceasefire violations. The basic purpose of these violations has been to hit the Indian border outposts and shell some civilian houses on the border that could force the migration of people to safer places thereby forcing the Government to make arrangements for sustaining the refugees.

The other reason for the violations has been to divert the attention of the Indian troops so that groups of militants could be pushed into Jammu and Kashmir under the cover of fire. The Indian troops have been asked to hit back strongly so that Pakistani gunners lose their balance. Pertinently, the Government and majority of people in the Valley are angry that miscreants and unidentified persons have been torching school buildings.During the last one month
