A senior Indian Army official said today that the Pakistan army is resorting to intensified shelling across the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir as part of its support to Lashkar-e-Taiba's "Year of Kashmir" campaign. The Indian army officer said that Indian forces aptly retaliated to the shelling by Pakistan army.<br/>'<br/>The month of July has seen greater ceasefire violations, which resulted in killings of 11 people, including nine soldiers and injuries to 16 others besides dislocation of thousands of people from the border areas of the state.<br/><br/>Pakistan-based Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD), which was known as Lashkar-e-Taiba earlier and which has now renamed itself as<br/>Tehreek Azadi Jammu and Kashmir (TAJK), had declared 2017<br/>earlier as the "Year of Kashmir."'<br/><br/>Amid one of the worst fatalities in recent times, the month also saw over 110 livestock falling prey to the incidents of shelling and firings by Pakistani army in which nearly 35 structures, including over two dozen houses were<br/>damaged along the LoC in Rajouri district alone.<br/><br/>In the wake of repeated firing and shelling by Pakistan, over 4,000 people from borders areas had to be shifted to safer places in the district.''<br/>'''''' <br/><br/><br/>
