NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday morning chaired a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) to discuss the situation at the Line of Control. The meeting comes in the wake of repeated ceasefire violations by Pakistani troops along the LoC.

indiscriminate fire towards Indian Army posts. On Wednesday night, they targeted Indian positions with small firearms along the Line of Control in Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir. However, there was no loss of life or injury to anyone in the firing, a police officer said.
