Jammu, September 21: : A fierce gunbattle broke out on the Line of Control (LoC) between Indian troops and militants, who entered the country under the cover of firing from Pakistani side, in Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir.

"A group of armed militants entered the Indian territory from Kabaristan post of Pakistan and were trapped by troops close to Kalash Indian Post between Zeroline and border fencing along LoC in Poonch district today," defence officials told PTI.

The gunbattle is still on, they said, adding that infiltration of militants followed the heavy cross-border firing on Indian positions along LoC since yesterday.

HOW DARE TROOPS SHOOT AT THE POOR MILITANTS! THEY ARE COMING BECAUSE UPA GOVT HAS PTOMISED THAT IF THEY SUCCEED IN ENTERING THEY WILL BE GIVEN INDIAN CITIZENSHIP IF THEY VOTE FOR UPA AND MAYBE MP POSITION. THEIR CHIEF WILL BE MADE HOME MINISTER ... SHIVRAJ PATIL WILL HAVE TO RESIGN . INDIAN TROOPS WILL BE COURT MARTIALLED FOR SHOOTING BECAUSE LOC MEANS LOVE OUR CITTHROATS.

Just shows how ineffective the Indian Goverment is .... the indian troops are fired on practically everyday and yet there seems to be no policy or counter action being followed by this spineless goverment. Due to this the indian people in general are paying with their innocent lives to all these terrorists who enter the country under the covering fire by the pakistani army. Since this is one of the popular methods of infilitration, you do not need to be an 'Einstein' to find a devastating answer to stop and totally discourage them.
