POONCH: The locality close to civil lines of Poonch-Dungus still remembers the three young children who were lost to the Pakistani shelling.

"They (family) were trying to leave for a safer place when the shrapnel hit the children," said Amir Mehtab Sheikh of Poonch town with moist eyes, while pointing towards the place where twin brother-sister (Zoya and Ayan, both 12-years-old) were hit.

While parents of three children have left the locality and are undergoing treatment outside the state, the locals recall the young children, including twins (brother and sister), as livewires of the locality.
