Our armed forces are giving an adequate and appropriate response.”He added, “We take these violations very seriously and call upon Pakistan to take proper steps to stop them. The armed forces have been told to stay alert and respond strongly if Pakistan repeats such actions again.”India has said that it is watching the situation closely and will continue to respond firmly to any threats at the International Border and the Line of Control.
