During his one-day visit, Shinde visited some border belts and made an aerial survey along IB from Akhnoor belt (Jammu district) to Pahadpur (Kathua district) to assess the situation arising out of a spike in  ceasefire violations triggered by firing and shelling daily by Pakistan in Jammu frontier for the past one week.
