After the recent understanding between India and Pakistan, the displaced border residents started returning to the last village on Friday in Salotri, Poonch, after the increased tension between the two countries.
Firing, which affected districts along the line of control in Jammu and Kashmir, resulted in a significant loss of civil life along with homes and infrastructure.
The people of the village thanked the government for understanding between India and Pakistan.
Amjid Ali, a resident of Salotri village, said, “We live here and we have seen something like this for the first time. The government had provided everything for our safety, but still, we were afraid after seeing the situation between the two countries. The Indian Army provided us all security and took care of us and took care of us and completely left the village.
Another rural Haji Junit urged the government to build a bunker there.
“Around 400 people stayed here. When the fire broke out, the people left the village. The administration took care of us, and the police station listened to us. Today, we have returned to our village. But there is a problem here that we do not have bunkers here. Pakistan has a border, but there is no enough bunker here. There is no enough bunker. Take place, but we live here, and we are very difficult for people living here, and said it is very difficult for people living here,” he said.
Yesterday, the Indian Army carried out a door-to-door aid campaign in Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir, especially in areas near the Line of Control (LoC) which were recently severely affected by Pakistani shelling.
As part of the outreach effort, the army personnel distributed the necessary supply to citizens affected by cross-border enmity after Operation Sindor, which was launched on 22 April in response to the Pahgam terror attack, killing 26 people, including Nepali National.
The soldiers of the Army’s Romeo force also interacted with the local people to understand their needs and to provide assurance during the ongoing security situation.
Indian armed forces strongly responded to aggression, targeting several military positions across the border. Later, the two countries agreed to prevent firing and military action by the Director General of Pakistan’s military operations (DGMO).
Operation Sindoor was India’s decisive military reaction to the Pahgam terror attack on 22 April. Launched on 7 May, Operation Sindoor led the death of more than 100 militants associated with terrorist organizations such as Jai-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Tabiba and Hizbul Mujahideen.
After the attack, Pakistan attempted drone attacks with the Line of Control and Jammu and Kashmir as well as border areas, after which India launched a coordinated attack and damaged radar infrastructure, communication centers and air areas at 11 airbase in Pakistan.
Subsequently, on 10 May, an understanding of the end of enmity between India and Pakistan was announced. (AI)
