ISLAMABAD - Indian Army may open gunfire at the Friday March in Azad Kashmir near LoC, Indian media has reported.
Indian Army officials on Thursday said that they are fully prepared to tackle the Pakistani march by locals from Pakistan Kashmir if it tried to come towards LoC. The march has been scheduled for October 4.
The march is being planned in protest against India's decision to abrogate provisions of Article 370 of the Constitution to withdraw Jammu and Kashmir's special status.
The officials also said that the Indian Army will follow standard operating procedures against any attempt to violate the Line of Control (LoC) and the Indian territory. A warning has already been given to the Pakistan Army against such attempts, they said.
Pakistan's law enforcing agencies must ensure the sanctity of the LoC, Indian Army officials said ahead of a march on Friday. Indian Army officials said that they are ready to deal with any eventualities along LoC.
