Why India conducted Surgical Strike on Pakistan?

On September 29, 2016, the Indian Army carried out surgical strikes on seven terrorist launch pads across the Line of Control (LoC) as a response to an attack on its base in Uri earlier that month.

Indian troops crossed the Line of Control in to take out terror launch pads in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. They have carried military operation and destroyed the terror launch pads across the border in the Pakistan occupied Kashmir.
