Pakistan had upped the ante. In a desperate bid to help terrorists infiltrate into the Valley and position them before the winter set in, the Pakistan army had resorted to cease fire violations on a daily basis.
The
several
warnings
and
requests
fell
on
deaf
ears.
Then
came
Operation
Arjun.
This
was
one
of
the
most
high-profile
operations
undertaken
by
the
Border
Security
Force
in
recent
times.
It
involved
targeting
the
farms
and
residences
of
Pakistan's
serving
and
former
army
officers
near
the
border.
The
impact
of
this
operation
was
such
that
Pakistan
was
forced
to
wave
the
white
flag
begging
for
peace.
Operation Arjun was so impactful that it resulted in Pakistan seeking a cease fire a few days back. India has often said that Pakistan has given land and houses to some of its officers both serving and former to ensure that terrorist infiltration continued unabated.
The BSF decided that it would target these farms and residences and has been doing so in a sustained manner. At first the BSF director K K Sharma called on Pakistan to stop unprovoked firing and also the use of snipers to target Indian jawans. Pakistan however continued to violate the cease fire and even stepped up the presence of snipers. Sharma once again told Pakistan that its army runs the risk of retaliation in a strong manner if it did not listen.
The BSF then decided that this had to stop and came up with Operation Arjun. With the help of the long range 81 mm weapons it caused significant damage to Pakistan. In the retaliation several border outposts were also destroyed. The BSF also used used small, medium and area weapons to target Pakistan.
