Calm Resumes as Ceasefire Holds on India-Pakistan Border

After tense days of cross-border conflicts, the border regions between India and Pakistan are experiencing a rare calm. Both nations agreed to a ceasefire, and normalcy is gradually returning to impacted areas. Residents remain cautious, but there is hope that peace will prevail.

Tense days gave way to an unexpected calm in the border regions between India and Pakistan as New Delhi and Islamabad reached a ceasefire agreement. The once drone-laden skies above Pathankot and the military-stricken areas of Jammu and Kashmir are now devoid of hostilities.

In Punjab's border districts, markets returned to life with people cautiously resuming daily activities, though schools and educational institutions remain shuttered in affected locales. Despite the respite, vigilance stays high, particularly after multiple thwarted drone attacks from Pakistan.

Villages left deserted are seeing the slow return of their residents, as leaders from both sides hope that this newfound peace endures. While the ceasefire has brought back a sense of normalcy, communities remain alert for any further unpredictable developments.
