Indian Army jawans on Sunday (15 September) were recorded defusing a live mortar filed by Pakistan across the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir’s Balakote sector in a bid to target schools and civilians.

In the video posted by journalist Aditya Raj Kaul, two army jawans can be seen placing sand sacks above the live mortar and then carrying out a controlled explosion by attaching a fuse. The loud explosion at the end was a testament of the deadly nature of the mortar.
It was reported yesterday how Indian Army had also rescued young school kids from their schools after Pakistan violated ceasefire in the Balakote sector.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
