India's claim that its troops decimated Pak bunkers seems to be correct

JAMMU, MAY 25 (KIP)

Is India correct when it claimed that scores of bunkers and Pak outposts across LOC had been decimate d as part of anti-infiltration measures ? Or it Pakistan's claim that India was telling lies about decimation of some bunkers? If the videos shown by the Indian Army are to be believed the Indian side's claim is right and Pakistan has simply to hide its weakness and its support to militants who h ad been brought in the bunkers. Pakistan Army has dismissed as false India's claim that it decimated a Pakistan Army post in the Naushera sector. "Indian claims of destroying Pakistani post along LoC in Naushera Sector and firing by Pakistan Army on civilians across LoC are false," Well as far as Pakistan is concerned its troops have been intermittently violating ceasefire agreement and the validity of Pak violating ceasefire is confirmed by over 17,000 families that had to migrate to safer places after their huts and houses were hit by Pak mortar fire. Pakistan's High Commissioner to India Abdul Basit also denied the attack in Naushera sector and said he had not received any such report. "This is nothing to brag about. It reinforces Pakistan's contention that we need to resolve the issue peacefully," Basit told media in New Delhi. Earlier this month, Pakistan Army had denied Indian army's accusations of killing two members of an Indian army patrol near the LoC.
