Border Villages in Punjab on Alert Amid India-Pakistan Tensions

As tensions escalate following Indian missile strikes on terror targets in Pakistan, residents of border villages in Punjab's Ferozepur district are moving to safer areas. Despite panic buying in some areas, many villagers near the International Border continue with their routine activities, trusting the authorities for safety.

In light of escalating tensions between India and Pakistan following recent missile strikes on terror camps, residents in certain border villages of Ferozepur district, Punjab, are taking precautionary measures to ensure their safety.

Despite the lack of official evacuation orders, many locals have decided to move their families, particularly women and children, to safer areas. Panic buying of essentials has been observed in Amritsar and Batala, although some villages near the International Border remain relatively calm.

Authorities, including Ferozepur Deputy Commissioner Deepshikha Sharma, have asserted that no cause for panic exists as government forces remain vigilant. Operations such as the closure of Amritsar international airport and temporary school shutdowns are in place to manage the situation.
