    "Pakistan Army carried out unprovoked firing using small arms and automatic weapons to target our positions in Hamirpur area of the LoC yesterday (Wednesday) night," defence spokesman Colonel Manish Mehta told IANS here.
     
    The firing started around 9 p.m. Wednesday in Poonch district.
     
    "Our troops gave a befitting reply using similar calibre weapons," the spokesman said.
     
    No casualty or damage has been reported from our side so far, he added.

    Pakistan's paramilitary rangers also fired at three posts of the Border Security Force (BSF) on the international border in R.S. Pura area of Jammu district Wednesday.

    Delhi's G.B. Road sex workers to finally get new address
    This surely is an instance of better late than never - in this case, all of 48 years. The infamous "G.B.Road" address on the voter identity cards of Delhi's sex workers had stripped away their dignity and made them a subject of humiliation and ignominy.
