India is evacuating civilian population along its border with Pakistan. This comes as tensions run high between the two neighbors over Kashmir. India says it has carried out surgical strikes in the disputed region to foil attacks by Pakistan-based militants. Islamabad rejects this, saying Indian forces have fired at the Pakistani side of the border in Kashmir. Press TV’s Javed Rana reports from Islamabad.
