There is no panic here...The mistake they committed last night, when they violated the ceasefire, is highly condemnable. They will be given a fitting reply," Singh said, speaking to ANI.

"People are leading normal lives. We are getting ration, water and oil normally...I do not want the peace in the country to ever be disrupted...No No country can progress through wars. People in India want progress..." he said.

Situations also remained normal in Ferozpur and Pathankot of Punjab.

In other parts of the country along the northern and western borders, situations remained normal.
