India hit back after Pakistan's multiple ceasefire violations 

Top military and security officials believe India's massive retaliation has left the Pakistani Rangers demoralised. 15 Pakistani Rangers have been killed.

The BSF's retaliatory firing has inflicted heavy casualties on the Pakistani Rangers and damaged the neighbourhoods of Sialkot and Shakargarh across the border.

Hospitals in Pakistan's border villages have been filled up with people wounded by Indian firing.

According to top BSF sources, the Pakistani border guards have now been seeking immediate army support.
 
Radio intercepts from the other side of the border also revealed the impact the offensive launched by India in Shakargarh and Sialkot had, highly-placed military officials said.

15 PAKISTANI RANGERS KILLED

At least 15 Pakistani Rangers have been killed in the BSF's return fire, they added.

According to radio intelligence gathered by Indian agencies, Pakistani guards were heard explaining the entire scope of the damage caused to their superiors.

Meanwhile, India has intensified the vigil along the borders over secret inputs that the Pakistani army was attempting to infiltrate terrorists around Diwali.

Heavily armed jawans trekked up to three kilometres of a tough uphill terrain winding through thick forests to reach the forward posts.

BSF TROOPS MOVED INTO CONCRETE BUNKERS  

At a time when it was pitch dark, the BSF troops in top gear moved into their concrete bunkers without putting a foot wrong.

"If our fellow citizens are safe, it's Diwali for us," remarked a jawan, as he took an aim with his rifle in hand.

With his finger on the trigger of his light machinegun, another BSF guard told  how the troops respond to enemy fire. "We retaliate ferociously if they fire on the Indian side," he said.

While patrolling along the border, BSF jawans took position immediately as they suspected any movement from across the border. They walked ahead only after they had thoroughly inspected the surroundings.

INDIA'S RETALIATION FOUR-FOLD

Top security officials told India Today that the BSF's retaliation to any Pakistani firing was four-fold.

Home Minister Rajnath Singh and Defence Minister Manohar Parikar have given the local commanders full authority to retaliate in a befitting manner to enemy assaults, official sources said.
