BSF, too, holds talks at various levels with its counterpart viz. Pakistan Rangers.
Further, all forward posts along the Line of Control are adequately strengthened to withstand enemy fire. There is also a well-established Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) to safeguard against enemy action to minimize the casualties.
