MUZAFFARABAD: Amidst continuous unprovoked firing from the Indian Army across the Line of Control, Pakistan ordered complete shutdown of government offices near the area, Express News reported on Sunday.
All the offices within 3 kilometres of the Line of control were ordered to be shut for an indefinite period.
Earlier in the day, firing from Indian Army allegedly killed two women and wounded seven civilians in Kashmir, Pakistan authorities claimed.
The two sides agreed to a ceasefire along the LoC in November 2003, but skirmishes have flared across the heavily-militarised Line of Control (LoC), the de facto border in Kashmir, in recent weeks, with both sides blaming each other for having violated the agreement.
However, Pakistan has maintained that it seeks to resolve all disputes with the neighbouring country through peace talks.http://tribune.com.pk/story/595056/pakistan-orders-indefinite-shut-down-of-govt-offices-near-loc/
