Don't rush back home, stay at safer places: J&K Police to border village residents

Following recent cross-border shelling by Pakistan, authorities in Jammu and Kashmir are urging evacuated residents of border villages not to return home immediately. These areas require sanitization and clearance of unexplored shells to prevent further casualties. In 2023 alone, 41 lives were lost due to explosions from leftover munitions near the LoC, highlighting the critical need for caution.
