Pakistan today summoned India's Deputy High Commissioner J P Singh and condemned the alleged ceasefire violations by Indian forces along the Line of Control in which one civilian has been killed.
Director General (South Asia and South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation) Mohammad Faisal summoned Singh over the ceasefire violations in the Mandal Sector, the Foreign Office said in a statement.
A 35-year-old woman of Ghasla village was killed in the firing.
"The Indian forces along the Line of Control and the Working boundary are continuously targeting civilian populated areas with heavy weapons," said Faisal.
In 2018, the Indian forces have carried out over 1,400 ceasefire violations along the LoC and the Working Boundary, resulting in the killing of 30 civilians, while injuring 121 others, he said.
"This unprecedented escalation in ceasefire violations by India is continuing from the year 2017 when the Indian forces committed 1970 ceasefire violations," said Faisal.
He said that "the deliberate targeting of civilian populated areas is indeed deplorable and contrary to human dignity, international human rights and humanitarian laws."
