BSF officials said several issues including investigations into the rocket attacks on Indian villages from the Pakistani side a few months ago,and illegal border crossings were discussed. The Pakistanis,however,insisted no rockets were fired from their side,and expressed ignorance of attempts to infiltrate or illegally cross into India. No rocket was fired from our side, said Khan.

Vasudevan said the meeting was held in a cordial atmosphere,and issues like the construction of border villages and the organisation of the retreat ceremony were discussed in detail.
