A Defence Ministry spokesman said that Indian Army units along the border had strict instructions to open fire only when fired upon. Though routine exchanges took place daily, only small arms were used. The spokesman said that it was only Pakistani troops which used heavy weapons normally to provide covering fire to push in mercenaries. Earlier, in Islamabad the chief military spokesman, Maj. Gen. Rashid Qureshi, accused Indian troops of opening mortar barrage killing one civilian and injuring some others. The Pakistani troops responded effectively and ``silenced Indian guns'' he claimed. - PTI Send this article to Friends by E-Mail
