As per reports, about 250 families of Kerni have been rehabilitated by the Indian Army in their village.

This genuine request of the people of the village was duly considered by the Army and Civil Administration. The request for re-location of the entire population of the village in one go has been approved as a humanitarian gesture and as an ‘Eid’ gift so that the people of Kirni could celebrate the festival together as families in their village. This gesture by the Army is sure to reinforce their image as friends of the local populace.
They said that all the remaining 244 villagers of Kirni village have been relocated back to their original homes ahead of the LC Fence.
