Yeah, my bad. Mixed it up.

I once had a collection of her "fond memories of Agha Jan". Posted it on the porki forum only to be promptly deleted by mods. Unfortunately I lost the damn thing.

This is Google earth captures of Leepa/ Leepa valley one of the many targets where cross LoC raids or Surgical strikes took place. Here the target (as claimed) was a wooden structure which was essentially a Mosque but was also used as Sarai (Inn)

Our Forward Posts located on the mountains can easily observe the activities in the Town and the valley below or pulverize the entire valley by Artillery at any time just like before the ceasefire 2003

In a BBC interview Pakis themselves claimed that Indian Army brought their "BIG GUNS" and emplaced them on the similar Ridges in a first after the 2003 cease fire.

Now these "Big Guns" could be anything from heavy caliber HMG, RCL or AGL 17/30 Grenade launcher etc

Let them shout or cry or throw stones. Soon, it will become habit and the value of their protest will fall down.

4 Pakistan Army soldiers killed as India retaliates to ceasefire violation along LoC in Rajouri

Four Pakistan Army soldier were killed and several injured as Indian Army retaliated to unprovoked ceasefire violation along the Line of Control (LoC) in Rajouri district of Jammu and Kashmir today.

Pakistan Army started heavy mortar shelling and firing at two Indian positions in Jhanger and Sher Makedi village near the LoC in Naushera, triggering of a gun duel, a defence official said.

"Pakistan Army initiated indiscriminate firing of small arms, automatics and mortars on Indian posts on the LoC in two villages of Naushera sector in Rajouri district at around 8 am. Indian Army posts are retaliating strongly and effectively," said Defence Ministry spokesman, Lt Col Manish Mehta.

According to the defence sources, mortar shell fired by the Indian Army fell into an Army camp across the border and Pakistan suffered maximum causality.

Pakistani helicopters and ambulances were seen from across the border to shift the injured and dead Pakistan Army soldiers to near by hospitals.

These areas normally remain calm but Pakistan is now using soft areas for infiltration of armed terrorists from old routes. The Pakistan Army is giving cover fire to terrorists so that they can infiltrate to kick-up violence in the border districts of Rajouri and Poonch, defence officials said.

Intelligence agencies have already alerted the Army and the state police that this summer will be hot and more than 100 terrorists are waiting on launching pads near Line of Control to cross over to the Indian side.

Progression and rough timeline of new kind of warfare called "LoC warfare"

1. CFL line converted into Line of Control according to Shimla agreement after realign the de facto border. Few Paki posts of tactical importance captured all along LoC never to be return to Pak


2. Late 1970s - For the first time small arms fire begun to exchange over LoC and the term "LoC Warfare" came into being.

3. Situation escalate after Siachen conflict 1984. Military posts were permanently strengthen and fortified with heavy caliber weapons, Mortars, Anti Aircraft Guns and even Anti Tank missile to destroy the Hardened defenses of each other.


4. 1989 brings in the the new dimension. Terrorists infiltration supportd by Pak posts. LoC became the first line of Defense against this bloody "proxy war"


5.Cross LoC Raids. Early 80s - till today. Several serious attempts by Pak Army to capture key Indian posts both on LoC and in Turtok and Siachen. For ex - NLI Assualt on Tyakshi Post was repulsed with heavy casualties, Op Vajrashakti etc


6. 1990s - Heavy Artillery duals. Cross border raids, Beheading, retribution attack even on civilians such as Bandala seri massacre of Pakis carried out by Indian Special Forces (allegedly).


7. Post Kargil - massive investment by Army on infrastructure and surveillance over LoC. Newer dedicated posts such as listening posts or heavy firing even for repairing the post or construction of newer post.


8. 2003 unilateral ceasefire declared by Pakis. In between heavy Artillery shelling of Neelum valley by India and by Pak especially in Kargil, Turtok area.


Few instances of Air strikes by IAF on Forward Paki Posts with mix results.
