![]() As many as 50 villages and many border posts were targeted in Kathua up to 2300 hours on Monday and the shelling resumed around 0400 hours today, Deputy Commissioner Kathua Shahid Iqbal Choudhary told PTI, adding it was so intense that mortar shells landed about four km inside the Indian territory. The 82mm mortar shells landed in Sherpur, Chakra, Lachipur and Londi areas of Hiranagar sector, which are located deep inside Indian territory, he said. F troops also retaliated resulting in exchanges till 0700 hours today, the DC said. However, there was no loss of life or injury to anyone among civilians in the firing and shelling since last night, officials said. In Samba, Pakistani shelling continued till 2230 hours last night targeting over 10 to 12 villages and several BoPs, SSP, Samba, Anil Magotra said. "...If firing comes from their side, we definitely have to respond to that. Because we cannot go on taking their bullets and seeing civilians getting injured on our side and keep silent--that can never happen," Pathak said. "We want to restore normalcy along the border but we are forced to retaliate because Pakistan Rangers resort to firing on us," Pathak said. "Pakistan Rangers are not accepting protest notes over ceasefire violations. There is no communication between the two sides," he added. Pathak said ceasefire violations by Pakistan could be an attempt to divert attention of its public from the Peshawar carnage.Nearly 140 schoolchildren were massacred in a recent terror attack at an army-run school in the Pakistani city.Agency |

The controversy around Nestle's Maggi noodles has caused panic throughout the nation and it doesn't look like it will die down any time soon.
After the initial test results by Uttar Pradesh Department of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) showed harmful levels of monosodium glutamate (MSG) and lead in Maggi, various states across India and even Bangladesh conducted tests on Maggi to find out whether the food product is safe or not.
The controversy around Maggi has led to tests being conducted across the country.
The entire controversy began when the UP FDA last month asked Nestle India to withdraw a batch of Maggi noodles "which were manufactured in February 2014" after it found high levels of added MSG, a taste enhancer, in the noodles and lead beyond permissible limits.
