In the wake of escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, residents of border villages in Ferozepur district, Punjab, are relocating to safer areas. With the recent Indian missile strikes on terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, villagers have started packing their belongings as a precaution.

While Ferozepur witnesses panic buying and relocation, other border districts like Amritsar and Tarn Taran maintain a sense of calm. Here, villagers continue with their routine activities despite the tense situation. Educational institutions in Amritsar are closed, and the airport is shut for commercial flights.

The Indian military's Operation Sindoor aims to counteract terror threats following a deadly attack in Kashmir. Meanwhile, despite the absence of official evacuation orders, the decision by families to move highlights the uncertainty and anxiety prevailing in these border regions.
