RESIDENTS of border villages in Jammu's Rajouri region demand the construction of bunkers for their safety in future skirmishes between India and Pakistan.

- FAYAZ WANI @ Srinagar

RESIDENTS of border villages in Jammu's Rajouri region demand the construction of bunkers for their safety in future skirmishes between India and Pakistan. They do not want a repeat of the death and destruction that Pakistani shelling caused in the area following Operation Sindoor. The J&K administration has backed the proposal and assured to build bunkers at the earliest.

Pakistani troops resorted to heavy mortar and artillery shelling on border areas at the LoC from Uri, Tangdhar in north Kashmir to Poonch and Rajouri in the Jammu region.
