From Samba to Poonch and Rajouri to Kupwara, residents have been forced to flee their homes, take refuge in inadequate shelters, and live under the constant threat of mortar and artillery fire. Entire communities continue to grapple with the trauma of sudden displacement, the disruption of daily life, and the looming uncertainty of survival. While the boldness and resilience of these border communities is commendable, it should not be mistaken for an acceptance of continued suffering. Their courage is not a license for policy deficiencies.
