Border Calm Amidst Escalating Tensions

Villages near the India-Pakistan border, specifically in Amritsar and Tarn Taran, maintain composure amid rising tensions following Indian missile strikes against terror targets in Pakistan. Despite school closures and halted airport operations, locals continue with daily life, and no evacuation orders have been issued by authorities.

Despite escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, villages near the border in Amritsar and Tarn Taran remain tranquil. Residents are going about their daily routines, even as Indian forces launch missile strikes on terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

Authorities have closed schools and the international airport in Amritsar, yet the calm persists in these communities. Gurmeet Singh from Chinna Bidhi Chand and Sucha Singh from Naushera Dhalla report that life appears normal with villagers engaging in routine activities and no evacuation orders given.

The government has restricted farmers from accessing their fields beyond barbed fencing along the border, inducing some concern. However, local response remains composed, with some villagers refueling vehicles in anticipation of further developments.
