Five villagers had lost their lives whereas 34 others were injured in the cross border shelling by the Pakistan Rangers on the Arnia frontier belt in the R S Pura Sector along the International Border on Sunday night.
The youth wing of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) today held a demonstration against the ceasefire violation; the activists also set the Pakistani flag on fire.
