Yet, amid looming uncertainty, residents of Salamabad village in Uri have chosen solidarity over despair; coming together to construct a temporary shed to house three families whose houses were razed in shelling from across the LoC.

Showket Check, resident of Salamabad, said two houses in the village were completely destroyed, while three others were partially damaged.
