Earlier on Saturday after Pakistani Rangers  resorted to heavy firing at Border Security Force (BSF) posts near the international border at RS Pura sector in Jammu district killing two civilians, Defence Minister Arun Jaitley said the Indian forces are responding effectively.
 
He said the Indian Army and the BSF are vigilant and that the country should have faith in them.
 
"Army and BSF are effectively responding to each violation. I have full faith that they are protecting the borders and the country," Jaitley said.
 
In a continued act of ceasefire violation, Pakistani Rangers killed two people and injured seven others on Saturday at RS Pura sector.
 
The two villagers who died on Saturday from Pakistani firing are identified as Muhammad Akram and his 13-year-old son Aslam. Seven others were seriously injured in the firing.
