BSF Director General Nitin Agrawal visited the forward areas of sector Srinagar along the Line of Control (LoC) on Friday to review the operational preparedness of the units after a head constable of the force was killed in unprovoked firing by the Pakistan Rangers in Jammu and Kashmir’s Ramgarh a day ago.
The DG interacted with troops and applauded them for their high morale, commitment, and professionalism.
The deceased was identified as head constable Lal Fam Kima, 50, of 148 battalions of the BSF, posted at Narayanpur post in Ramgarh. Kima hailed from Aijwal in Mizoram.
On the intervening night of November 8-9, Pakistani Rangers opened fire at the Narayanpur post from their Ashraf post, prompting the BSF to retaliate in equal measure. The two border guard forces traded automatic weapons fire for some time.
The firing started by Pakistan Rangers and the BSF befittingly replied to the violation of the ceasefire along the international border in the Ramgarh and Arnia sectors in Jammu and Kashmir’s Samba district.
