After Mutilation Of 2 Soldiers, Fear Among Residents Near Line Of Control

After two Indian soldiers were killed and their bodies mutilated by Pakistan's Border Action Team on Monday, there is fear among the residents of villages close to the Line of Control or LoC. At Jhallas Salotri, the last village at the LoC in the Krishna Ghati sector, scared border residents fear an escalation might trigger another round of migration. "We fear we may have to migrate to Poonch town whenever there is an escalation at the LoC, every time we are forced to leave our livestock behind, we are facing lots of problems," said Abdul Samad, a resident of Jhallas village.
