Pakistan fires on villages in Punjab

No one was injured in the shelling on villages Kotli Jawahar, Bilalpur and Tilotra in Narot Jaimal sector in Pathankot subdivision adjoining Jammu and Kashmir.

Thirty-two mortar shells were found in the villages, the sources said, adding two cattle heads perished in the Pakistani firing that lasted for about an hour.

Indian Army personnel returned the fire but the loss on Pakistani side was not known, the sources added.

In Chandigarh, Chief Minister Amarinder Singh said the people in villages along the International Border were "not disturbed" in the wake of escalation of tension between India and Pakistan.

"The deputy commissioners of border districts -- Amritsar, Gurdaspur and Ferozepur -- have been directed to visit the villages along the border to find out the situation," he said.
