The injured were evacuated and admitted in the Government Medical College (GMC) Hospital, Jammu where their condition was said to be stable by attending doctors.

Panic gripped border dwellers as firing started from the Pakistan side.

A number of labourers, who had come to work in field, were the first to desert the villages to take shelter in safer areas.

Thursday’s round of firing and shelling by Pakistan rangers comes over a week after two BSF personnel were injured following unprovoked firing by the Rangers in the same sector on October 17.
