Notwithstanding we will takecare of all of them. Let anyone come and try and disrupt the peace in theValley, we will have him eliminated," Lieutenant General KJS Dhillon said.

The Chinar Corps Commander also rejected Pakistan's claimthat Indian Army used cluster bombs along the Line of Control last week,terming it ''Pakistani propaganda.''No such issue was there," Dhillon saidwhile warning that in case the Pakistan Army violates ceasefire again, theIndian Army would "respond hard and with full strength."
