Two students among six killed in Srinagar boat mishap
At least six people, including two school children, were killed early morning on Tuesday when a boat ferrying them on the river Jhelum capsized in the outskirts of Srinagar.
An Army soldier and a BSF jawan were killed on Thursday in two separate incidents of unprovoked firing at Indian positions by Pakistani troops from across the Line of Control (LoC).
While the Army soldier was killed when Pakistani troops targeted a forward post in the Machil Sector of Kupwara district in North Kashmir, the BSF jawan, identified as Prosonjit Biswas, lost his life in the Sunderbani sector of Jammu division.
Army spokesman, Colonel Rajesh Kalia, said that the Pakistani troops opened unprovoked fire at around 10.45 am.
