Jammu, J Jan 30 (IANS) An uneasy calm again prevailed on the international border in Jammu district Friday as tension was palpable in Arnia and R.S. Pura towns because of shelling by Pakistan Rangers.
The shelling killed three people, including two men and a woman, in Arnia town Thursday evening.
They have been admitted to government medical college hospital in winter capital Jammu.
Pakistani mortar shells had hit a school and a residential house in Arnia town which is 3.5 kilometres away from the international border.

A senior police officer who visited Arnia Friday said things were returning to normal in the town as well as in R.S. Pura.
"Things are fast returning to normal after yesterday's firing by Pakistan rangers in which three persons were injured. Pakistan shells hit a school building, a residential house and another structure in Arnia yesterday resulting in injuries to three persons", the officer said.
