Repeated calls and messages to the BSF for an official comment on the incident in the Arnia area of RS Pura sector went unanswered.

There was no retaliation from the other side, the sources said, adding that the people returned to the Pakistani side. Two BSF personnel were injured on October 17 when Pakistan’s troops resorted to unprovoked firing on an Indian post in Arnia. The BSF lodged a strong protest with the Pakistan Rangers at a commandant-level flag meeting on Thursday.
