Speaking in the state legislative council on Monday, Sayeed said there was no violation of ceasefire from across the borders in Jammu region from 2002 to 2010.
"We have to solve the problem and ensure peace for the border residents.

Since 2013, Pakistan troops have frequently been targeting Indian border guards and civilian populations on the international border which often forces hundreds of villagers to abandon homes and agricultural fields to seek shelter at safer places away from the live of Pakistani fire.
