English newspaper The Hindu has revealed that to teach a lesson to Pakistani Army in July 2011, Indian Army crossed the LOC in ginger and carried out “Operation Ginger”.
It was carried out to give a befitting reply to the action of Pak Army in which 6 Indian Army Soldiers were Marteryed. In response as tit for tat, The Indian Army had entered into PoK and 8 Pakistani soldiers were killed. The three were beheaded.
