Abdullah, president of the main opposition National Conference called for an immediate end to shelling from across the border.

He reiterated that the terrified border dwellers were braving the situation with fortitude, notwithstanding human loss and freezing of normal activity. The NC leader conveyed his condolences to all those families who lost their dear ones in the shelling for the past many weeks.
