ARNIA:  Five people have been killed and 25 injured in firing and shelling from Pakistan at the International Border in Jammu and Kashmir after midnight on Sunday, in the worst attack on civilian areas in recent years.

Two women and a 13-year-old girl were among those killed when Pakistan Rangers started firing at posts of the Border Security Force and villages in the Arnia sector of Jammu at around 1.30 am.

Two members of one family were killed in the attack the night before Eid celebrations on Monday. Several were wounded in heavy mortar shelling and homes were damaged. Mortar shells reportedly even hit a bus stand over four km from the international border.

Sources say people in border villages have been asked not to gather in large numbers.

Intermittent firing continues at Arnia and RS Pura sectors. Pakistani soldiers have also been firing in BG sector in Poonch since this morning.

The Indian Army says this is one of the worst violations of the 2003 ceasefire between the two countries. Sources said in a sign of increased hostilities, Pakistani soldiers had on Sunday refused to accept sweets for Eid, citing "orders from the top."

A man who lives near the border said, "Firing is still on at our village. People are scared. We don't know where to go."

Vijay Kumar, one of the injured, said, "I have never seen such massive firing. Bombs were falling on houses."

Some of the injured, who are being treated at the government medical college in Jammu, are believed to be in a critical state. 

Home Minister Rajnath Singh said this morning, "Pakistan should stop ceasefire violations and understand the reality. They should understand that the ground reality has changed in India."

The attacks, say sources, could be linked to the killing of five Pakistani soldiers in retaliatory action in recent weeks; two were reportedly killed on Dussehra night.

There was also an infiltration attempt this morning. Three terrorists were killed while trying to cross over at the Tangdhar sector of Jammu and Kashmir, the army said.

Hisar clash: Deadline given to godman's bhakts ends

Police said that water and electricity connection to the ashram have been cut off. TV reports on Wednesday morning said that Rampal’s supporters were using women and children inside the ashram as human shields. Armed devotees on Tuesday tried to hold off the police, attacking them with acid pouches, sticks and stones. Petrol bombs were also allegedly also thrown at the police. The police had called off their search till Wednesday saying the ashram is built like a maze with deadly traps set up. Violent clashes broke out at the ashram in Haryana with police lobbing teargas shells and resorting to lathicharge to disperse his supporters who allegedly fired back, leaving over 100 persons, including security and media personnel, injured. Tension mounted as supporters of Rampal refused to heed to repeated announcements by the police over loud speaker...

Peshawar sinks in gloom - TALIBAN SHAMELESS TERROR ATTACK ON PAKISTAN

PESHAWAR: December 16, which is the blackest day for the country due to its dismemberment in 1971, has added another black chapter to the national history. Now, the day will be remembered for the gloom and destruction descended on the provincial capital.   There was no letup in the wailing of ambulance sirens. Dozens of ambulances, both of government as well as non-governmental organisations, seemed to be running short for ferrying bodies of students and teachers of the Army Public School and College, who fell prey to the devastating act of terrorism on Tuesday. There were ambulances of different hue and colour, but all serving the same purpose of carrying the injured and the bodies to major hospitals, including the Combined Military Hospital and the Lady Reading Hospital. The ambulances were bringing gloom to those whose children were killed by terrorists. People searching for their near and dear ones in the hospitals and on the Warsak Road, where the ill-fated educational institu...

India on brink of 'quantum leap,' Modi tells investors -reuters

(Reuters) - Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi promised on Sunday to pursue predictable policies and ensure stable taxes, in a speech that sought to address concerns for foreign investors in Asia's third-largest  economy . U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry led a roll call of leaders, including U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and World Bank head Jim Yong Kim, converging on Modi's home town of Gandhinagar for the Vibrant Gujarat business summit. U.S. President Barack Obama visits India later this month. Eight months into Modi's rule, his failure to lift the economy from its longest growth slowdown in a generation has raised questions about how much substance there is behind his promise of "red carpet, not red tape". "We're trying to complete the circle of economic reforms speedily," Modi told the event that he founded when he was chief minister of the industrial state. "We are also keen to see that our policies are predictable. We're clea...
