The two soldiers belonged to the Gorkha Rifles.
Vice Army Chief Lt Gen MM Naravane and other top officials of the Army paid last respects to the bravehearts. After the ceremony, the mortal remains were sent to their native places.
The Pakistan Army, in the unprovoked ceasefire violation on Sunday, had targeted civilian areas killing one civilian and injuring three others in the area.
