Appropriate response to these ceasefire violations has been carried out wherever necessary. During ceasefire violations, the inhabitants of border villages, which are vulnerable to shelling / firing, are shifted to safer locations to prevent any loss of life. All arrangements are made to shift them to safer locations.
The defences along the border are periodically fortified to withstand attacks by continuous improvements in the defences to make them more robust and resilient.
