In a dire situation along the Line of Control (LoC) and the International Border, residents were evacuated to safety as Pakistani shelling escalated following Indian military action. This strategic retaliation was in response to a devastating terror attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, which claimed 26 lives.
The exchange of hostilities has left residents in fear. With over 50 people injured and fatalities including children and women, the local administration has scrambled to provide shelter and safety for civilians caught in the crossfire.
Community leaders and political figures have condemned the targeting of civilians, urging for peace and safety measures. The specter of full-scale war looms large, demanding immediate attention to the volatile border situation.
