REPORTS ON PAK MISSILES FIRING IN POONCH TOWN INCORRECT

    Media reports stating that 200 to 300 missiles have been fired by Pak in Poonch town where a bundh has been declared, are incorrect. It is clarified that while Pak has resorted to routine cross border firing in Poonch Sector on 31 Jan 02, it was only restricted to areas close to the Line of Control.
