Kamanpost, Uri: Hours after the Pakistani troops fired at the Indian posts along the International Border in Jammu, killing two civilians and injuring more than six people including a BSF jawan on Saturday morning, the Indian Army's 12 Brigade, based in the border town of Uri, handed over a Pakistani national, who had accidentally slipped inside the Indian territory on 20 August.
Mangta Gujjar, 75, a resident of Chapper village on the Line of Control (LoC) in Pakistan-Occupied-Kashmir said he was cutting wood in the forests near the LoC, when he accidentally crossed over to the Indian side.

"I was cutting wood and suddenly had breathing problems when accidentally I slipped to the Indian side," Gujjar told Firstpost, inside an army facility center near Kaman Bridge, were he was later handed over to Pakistani troops deployed near the Kaman post.
The Indian Army posted along the LoC in Uri apprehended Mangta Gujjar, but provided him immediate medical care after realizing his deteriorating health. He was kept for three days in supervision of doctors, as he complained of breathing problems.
"The Indian Army took very good care of me. They gave me gifts and I am going back with good memories," Gujjar, who spoke in Pahari language, a common dialect for the people living across the LoC in Uri said.
As the Indian soldiers took Gujjar towards the Kaman bridge, which divides the Kashmir into two parts, he said in hushed voice he wished peace would prevail along the border between India and Pakistan.
An army officer who spoke to Firstpost said they had intercepted Gujjar near the LoC on 20 August early in the morning and provided him medical relief as he faced breathing problems.
