Protest was lodged over violation of ceasefire agreement at the working boundary in Chaprar and Harpal sectors near the border

For the second day in a row, Pakistan on Wednesday summoned India's deputy high commissioner and lodged a strong protest over alleged "unprovoked firing" by Indian forces along the working boundary and the Line of Control. It was second day in succession that Indian envoy J P Singh was summoned by the Foreign Office over violation of ceasefire. "The Indian deputy high commissioner was summoned by the director general (South Asia & SAARC) today. A strong protest was lodged against the unprovoked ceasefire violations," the Foreign Office said in a statement. The protest was lodged over violation of ceasefire agreement at the working boundary in Chaprar and Harpal sectors and on the LoC in Bhimber sector on 25-26 October, the statement said.

Pakistan summons Indian envoy over 'ceasefire violations'

Pakistan&#39;s media regulatory authority today decided to enforce a complete ban on Indian TV and radio contents from Friday and warned that the licences of those found guilty of violating the ban will be suspended.

The ban comes amid tensions between the two neighbouring countries regarding India&#39;s conduct of &quot;surgical strikes&quot;&nbsp;across the Line of Control and subsequent violations of ceasefire.&nbsp;

Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) decided to ban airing of Indian content from October 21 at the request of the federal government, it said.

&quot;The ban will come into effect at 3 PM on October 21, and radio and television stations which violate the ban will have their licences suspended without a prior show cause notice,&quot; PEMRA said in a statement.

The ban extends to all Indian content on cable and radio being aired in Pakistan.

The authority also decided to cancel one-sided rights given to Indian media by the government of former military dictator Pervez Musharraf in 2006.

PEMRA has already decided to get tough with Indian content&nbsp;after complaints that most of the local channels were using more than five per cent foreign contents as allowed by it.

The regulator on August 31 said that strict action would be taken against the channels airing foreign content more than the prescribed limit and traders selling illegal DTH sets.

The decision was implemented from October 16 as PEMRA launched crackdown on those channels using foreign contents illegally.

Earlier in October, PEMRA granted its chairman Absar Alam final authority to revoke or suspend licences of companies illegally using Indian content.

Tensions have run high between India and Pakistan since the terror attack on an Indian army base in Uri on September 18.

Later, India said it carried out &quot;surgical strikes&quot; across LoC and destroyed terrorist launchpads on September 28.

Pakistan has denied any surgical strikes took place, but said two of their soldiers were killed in cross-border firing by Indian Army.
