| Border villagers returning to homes in Uri | | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, Feb 28: After thaw in Pakistani troops firing and mortar shelling along the Line of Control (LoC) in Uri sector, the border villagers, who had migrated to safer places to escape shelling, have begun returning to their native places.
Surprisingly, the border residents were evacuated in ambulances by the district administration and army did not provide any Bullet Proof (BP) vehicle for evacuation of the people.
SDM Uri, Dr Sagar Doifode said over 1500 people were evacuated from seven villages affected by cross-LoC firing and shelling in Uri sector last week.
He said since the cross-LoC firing and shelling has stopped from last few days, people have begun to return to their homes.
"Only 350 people are presently living in camp established in a government girls school in Uri while others have moved back to their homes," he said. He said when the shelling started last week over 1500 people had migrated with 700-800 of them taking shelter in the camp set up by administration and rest at their relatives places.
A woman Naseema Bano of Churunda village said they don't want to return to their village because it is not safe to live there.
"We don't know when the firing and shelling will resume. I have not seen such heaviest shelling," she said.
Naseema said they don't want to return to the village. "We should be provided safe and alternate place for living by the people. We don't want to live in shelter houses. The government should rehabilitate us in safe areas, where our families can live in peace without threat of cross-border firing and shelling," she said. |
