A happy birthday for young Vamika amid rising uncertainties in Jammu
The New Indian Express Kollam
|May 11, 2025
Though it is innocent children who always bear the calamities of any war, the tension between the two neighbouring nations- India and Pakistan-did not spoil little Vamika Vijay's birthday celebration.
Vamika, a three-year-old girl, was happily living with her father Akhil Vinayak and mother Vijayasree in Jammu till May 8 in Digiana in Jammu. Akhil is a traffic control officer in the Air Force in Jammu. Both Vijayasree and Vamika had joined with him six months ago.
"As the quarters were not allocated, we were living in Digiana," Vijayasree told TNIE.
"On May 8 we heard the sound of shelling from the Pakistan side in the night. There was a total blackout from 8.30 to 11.30 pm. But as the shelling continued after a brief period, electricity was shut down," she said.
