Border Calm: Hope Returns After Indo-Pak Ceasefire Agreement

Following a recent ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan, residents in Punjab's border areas are breathing a sigh of relief as normalcy gradually returns. In Pathankot, locals have reported a positive shift, with markets reopening and a promising atmosphere on the horizon, underscoring the sentiment that war is not a solution.

In Ferozepur, this sense of peace is echoed, with locals advocating for sustained tranquility. Meanwhile, in Amritsar, residents have placed their trust in the Indian Army's capability to repel threats. "Our confidence in the Army remains intact," said Manjeet Singh. The previous night's ceasefire violation by Pakistan has been condemned but met with assurance of an appropriate response.

Across other regions like Barmer in Rajasthan and parts of Jammu and Kashmir, the day-to-day lifelines have resumed without drone attacks or shelling. From Samba to Kupwara, people continue everyday routines hoping for ongoing peace, aware of the fragility of the situation but optimistic about a peaceful future.
