KUPWARA: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah visited the Pakistani shelling-affected area in Kupwara on Tuesday.
Heavy cross-border shelling by Pakistan had caused damage to homes and religious sites in Kupwara, Uri, and Poonch. Locals vowed to stand with the Indian army despite the attacks.
Meanwhile, after India and Pakistan came to an understanding on the cessation of hostilities, life is slowly returning to normalcy in Jammu and Kashmir.
However, local residents of a border village in the Samba district feared the Pakistan army after blasts were heard on Monday night and splinters hit one of the houses.
The roof and kitchen of the affected house have been damaged after shelling by Pakistan.
A local, said that there was constant fear due to shelling by Pakistan.
“We were clueless last night, but we heard noises. We saw in the morning that this had happened. However, there is not much damage. We were all at home when the explosion happened. The police came later and took stock of the situation. There is an environment of fear,” Singh said.
