Heaviest cross-border firing since 1971 war,#India lodges protest with #Pakistan

 India on Tuesday lodged a protest with Pakistan over escalating border ceasefire violations in the “heaviest” cross-border firing since the 1971 India-Pakistan war even as the two countries agreed to hold flag meetings to defuse the situation.

The protest was lodged during the telephonic talks between the DGMOs (director general military operations) of the two countries, Army sources said in Delhi, adding it was held around 1200 hours for about 10 minutes during which “all relevant issues” were raised.
