“The flag meeting begun today around 11.30 a.m. and it is going on with Pak counterparts at forward BoP,” a senior BSF officer said.

In the meeting, BSF authorities lodged a strong protest with Pakistan Rangers over heavy shelling and firing on border posts and civilian areas since October 14, 2013.

They will also raise the issue of infiltration from across the border, besides that of sniper firing, the officer said.

The meeting could not take place on October 18, 2013 and October 20, 2013 as Pak troops failed to turn up.
