The Pakistan Rangers opened unprovoked fire along the 198-km-long international border (IB ) in the Arnia sub-sector in the RS Pura area of Jammu district this afternoon after the BSF strongly objected to construction of new defences on their (Ranger’s) side of the border.
“This afternoon the Pakistan Rangers started erecting new observation posts opposite Stop 2 post of ours in the Arnia sub-sector. They also started fortifying their posts with sand bags. Since construction of new defences was against international conventions, we strongly objected to it,” said a senior BSF officer.
“We ensured that the work was stopped but after some time they opened fire in the air. We didn’t retaliate but we will definitely take up the issue tomorrow with their wing commander,” he added.
A BSF source said that ever since Pakistan’s secret trans-border tunnel was detected near Chalyari post in the Samba sector on July 27 prompting the visit of the then BSF DG UK Bansal and Home Secretary RK Singh to Chalyari and Abdulian, respectively, the BSF has been maintaining a hawk’s eye on the activities of the Rangers.
Intelligence inputs suggest that since 2004, the Rangers have constructed and repaired 886 bunkers, 261 trenches, 398 towers and 143 border outposts on their territory along the border. The 12 Wing Chenab Rangers had clandestinely constructed a bunker of 18 ft x24 ft opposite the Peetal post of the BSF.
Last year in April, the Rangers had constructed a double-storied bunker near their Surgpur post, which is opposite the Abdulian post of the BSF in the RS Pura sector in violation of international conventions.
