Jaitley on Thursday took stock of the preparedness of the Indian Army in the wake of increased ceasefire violations by Pakistan.

Jaitley said,''Aggressive domination and readiness of troops for befitting response to any misadventure by enemy is very satisfying.''

He also urged all soldiers to continue the good job being done and ensure safety of the innocent people while dealing firmly with the inimical elements.

According to sources, the pakistani troops were involved in 67 ceasefire violations in the first four months of 2017, with maximum of 26 incidents reported in April, according to Army sources.
