Ground Report: ‘Pray for the situation within the firing range of our house, pray that the situation will not deteriorate’, the atmosphere of fear near Lok – Bahlcam Terrorist Tensions Hike Uri Villages Lock Report My Humes Prayer

After the terrorist attack in Bahlgham, there is a situation in the villages near Lok. Over the past two nights, Pakistan has fired in many positions of the Indian Army in the Kashmir sector. The Indian Army has given a better response to the Pakistani shooting. It is a relaxing thing that there is no news about the loss of life and the loss of property.

In this stressful situation, the Aj Tak group reached the village of Barcuth and Yuri. From the 1990s to 2003, the areas that faced heavy shelting were again in violence after the attack on the URI military camp in 2016, of which 19 Indian soldiers were martyred. These recent events for the locals have left the refreshing memories of the old painful days.

After the 2003 ceasefire agreement and its re -assistance, the LOC was established in Low, but today that peace is in danger. On April 22, 26 people were killed in a terrorist attack in Bahlgham, while 17 injured, while the terrorist attack increased the situation in the area.

Parkwood, about 100 km from Srinagar, is a village located near the lock in Uri. Here, the Aj Tak Group meets Mohammed Rafiq and runs a public shop from the Indian Army as a hero. Rafiq says the first Pahalgam attack and the increasing border stress have disturbed their peace of mind. Poke is easily visible from their home. He said there was peace at this time, but ask that the situation could deteriorate. We care because we don’t have bunkers. If there is any shooting, its voice comes here and harm us. Our homes are within the range of firing.

‘We have no place to hide’

Wasim Ahmed, a young man from the village, said the situation was not worse, because we have seen Pakistani citizens target. Any tension between India and Pakistan will become a threat to us. We have no place to hide.

‘Let’s look at the border of anxiety’

An elderly woman took her grandson to her lap, and we are looking at the border day and night, and we have little children. We only pray that the situation is not worse.

‘If there is a fire, we will bear the first time’

After a while spending a while in the quiet and beautiful bark village, only the noise of the birds is heard or the voice of the cattle is heading towards the city of Yuri, near the Yuri Cantonment. There is also a situation of concern among the people in the city of Yuri. Murdasa Naqvi, a lawyer living in Kamalkot (located in LOC), says there is a direct impact beyond the border. If the situation worsens and shelting starts, we must bear it first. Prior to 2005, we had citizens bunkers, which were almost over now, which means we have to bear without security.

40 thousand population, just 2-3 bunkers pits

Another local resident said that we are the people of the border area, the Citizen bunker pits are very low here. There are 30-40 thousand population, but there are only 2-3 bunkers. Nevertheless, we hope that the Government of India will take steps to stop any ceasefire violation. The people of the mountains are with the Indian Army. The people of Jammu or Srinagar do not face these conditions, and we only raise difficulties.

Bahlgam terrorist attacks also echoed in Euri

Security forces have launched a wide search operation on both sides of the mountains, that is, Pir Panchal. Although Bahalcam is 200 km from URI, the echo of this terrorist attack is now felt to Lock cities. Again, the situation of the LOC has become important, and history is a testimony to the first and most painful innocent villagers, which call these inaccessible areas as their home.
