The Line of Control (LoC) with Pakistan, which has been volatile over the last several weeks, remained calm for the second day today, with no firing of shelling taking place from across.
"There has been no firing or shelling by Pakistan along LoC and IB today," a senior officer said.
While there has been no shelling or firing along International Border since November one, there has been no shelling since yesterday along LoC.
On November 2, two people were injured when Pakistani troops resorted to shelling and firing along the LoC in Rajouri and Poonch districts.
The preceding day saw the worst-ever Pakistani shelling along the IB and Loc targeting civil population, killing 8 people, including 2 children and 4 women, and injuring 22 others.
However, even as there was no firing or shelling along the frontier, the border dwellers refuse to return to their homes because of the looming fears.
Officials said most of the border people are staying in camps and they do not want to return to their border homes in view of threat to their lives from Pakistani firing and shelling.
They fear that this is just a lull before another round of hostilities, the officials said.
Jammu & Kashmir government has closed over 400 schools along the International Border (IB) and Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu region in wake of heavy cross border firing from Pakistan.
So far, a total of 18 people including 12 civilians have been killed and more than 83 injured in Pakistan shelling and firing along IB and LoC in Jammu.
