In yet another violation of the ceasefire agreement, the Pakistan Army initiated unprovoked firing across the Line of Control (LoC) in the Krishna Ghati Sector of Poonch district, Jammu and Kashmir. The incident, which occurred on April 1, triggered a strong and calibrated response from the Indian Army, reinforcing India's commitment to safeguarding its borders against external aggression.

Ceasefire Violation in Krishna Ghati Sector

According to an Indian Army official, the Pakistan Army engaged in an unprovoked ceasefire violation after an intrusion across the LoC led to a mine blast in the Krishna Ghati Sector. This escalation was met with swift and precise retaliation from the Nangi Tekri Battalion under the Krishna Ghati Brigade.

“On April 1, a mine blast occurred in Krishna Ghati Sector due to Pakistan Army’s intrusion across the LoC. This was followed by unprovoked firing and a ceasefire violation by the Pakistan Army. Our troops responded effectively in a controlled and calibrated manner. The situation is under control and is being closely monitored,” the official stated.

2021 DGsMO Agreement and Border Security

The Indian Army has consistently emphasized the need to adhere to the 2021 Director Generals of Military Operations (DGsMO) agreement, which was established to ensure peace along the LoC. However, with recurring ceasefire violations by Pakistan, tensions along the border have escalated.

The Indian security forces remain on high alert to counter any infiltration attempts and potential terrorist activities originating from across the border. The LoC has witnessed multiple ceasefire breaches in recent months, signaling a shift in Pakistan’s stance despite previous diplomatic commitments.

Heightened Security Following Kathua Encounter

The latest ceasefire violation coincides with an ongoing counter-terrorism operation in Panjtirthi, Kathua, where Indian security forces engaged in an encounter with terrorists on the night of March 31.

A joint operation involving the Indian Army, Jammu and Kashmir Police, and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) was launched after suspicious movement was detected in the area. Intelligence reports had indicated possible terrorist infiltration, leading to the deployment of multiple surveillance ambushes in Panjtirthi.

The Rising Star Corps of the Indian Army provided further details regarding the operation:
“Acting on intelligence inputs, multiple surveillance ambushes were deployed in Panjtirthi, Kathua. Suspicious movement was observed on the night of March 31, leading to an exchange of fire. Search-and-destroy operations were launched at first light on April 1. Operations are in progress.”

The security forces remain vigilant, monitoring developments in both Poonch and Kathua, ensuring that any hostile activities are swiftly neutralized. Additional reinforcements have been deployed to critical border regions, reflecting the seriousness of the situation.

Implications of the Ceasefire Violation

The unprovoked firing from Pakistan and the mine blast in Krishna Ghati raise concerns about Pakistan’s continued aggression along the LoC. Experts suggest that such provocations are aimed at diverting attention from internal issues within Pakistan while testing India’s military preparedness.

With security forces already engaged in counter-terror operations in Kathua, the ceasefire violation in Poonch further complicates the regional security landscape. Analysts believe that Pakistan-backed terror groups may attempt to exploit vulnerabilities along the LoC, making it imperative for India to maintain an elevated security posture.

Indian Army’s Strategic Response

The Indian Army’s response to the ceasefire violation was measured yet firm, ensuring that any further escalation was deterred. The forces remain prepared to neutralize infiltration attempts, particularly at a time when cross-border movements have shown an uptick.

Given the high stakes involved, India is expected to raise the issue through diplomatic channels, urging Pakistan to respect the ceasefire agreement and curb terrorist activities operating from its soil.

Meanwhile, the situation along the LoC remains tense but under control, with continuous surveillance and strategic deployments in place to thwart any further misadventures by hostile elements.

Conclusion

The latest ceasefire violation in Krishna Ghati Sector and the counter-terror operations in Kathua highlight the persistent security challenges faced by Indian forces along the LoC. While the Indian Army remains fully equipped to handle such provocations, Pakistan’s repeated violations continue to pose a threat to regional stability.

With heightened security measures in place, the Indian forces are committed to maintaining peace while ensuring a decisive response to any aggression. As the situation develops, the nation watches closely, expecting both military and diplomatic actions to safeguard India’s territorial integrity.
