Are we heading towards war with Pakistan?

Jammu-Kashmir border is witnessing a fierce war these days. Pak army and Jehadi organizations, badly frustrated due to surgical strike, have now begun to fire on civilians. A number of villages are being evacuated. Killing of eight civilians in a day proves the seriousness of the situation. So far as I remember, this is the first incident in the last 20 years that so many citizens are killed in a day. It resembles the frustration of Pakistan that after the surgical strike by India on the midnight of 29^th September, Pakistan has violated the cease fire 63 times, in which 12 civilians were put to death. It is not so that our soldiers are not responding to it. BSF is properly responding to the cross-border firing from Pakistan. Pakistan has been continuously violating the cease fire for the last 11 days. Counter responding to Pakistan, BSF has fired 5000 mortars and more than 35000 round bullets. Responding to Pak firing, BSF has fired 3000 long range mortars and 2000 short range mortars. Long range mortar has a range of 5 to 6 kilometer while the short range has a range of about 900 meters. Besides this, BSF has fired more than 38000 bullets using the weapons like MMG, LMG and rifles, etc. According to BSF, most of the cross-border firing is taking place in the sectors of Jammu. Pak rangers are firing at night. This firing is an attempt of infiltration also.  In the counter action of BSF, atleast 15 Pak soldiers are claimed to be killed so far.  During the continuous firing from Pakistan after 19^th October 3 BSF jawans have martyred. Pakistan has violated cease-fire 63 times on international border within 11 days. ADJ of BSF (Western Range) Arun Kumar told that Indian Army is also promptly responding to the Pak Army. Pak is firing bullets from mortars besides bombarding. In many a villages firing around 100 bullets is being reported. Responding to undeclared war on colonies is somehow difficult. The situation is being reviewed in the high-level meetings of the government. We are now put to the question that how long will it continue? Just imagine how the people will be suffering who have been compelled to live without their belongings. Since most of the villagers are farmers, their crops are also ruining and a new crisis has arisen for the cattle. Are we gradually heading towards a complete war?
