Jammu: The unabated ceasefire violations by Pakistan at the International Border in Jammu are having an impact on the lives of hundreds of border residents. Despite the near-freezing temperatures, people are fleeing their homes in parts of Jammu that are worst hit by cross-border shelling.
At the International Border, guns are roaring for the past three days. Nights are critical - that is the time when the shelling and firing is the most intense.
More than 500 people have taken shelter in three migrant camps.
"We have to migrate every now and then, education suffers a lot, I am a college student, I am missing my exam papers due to firing," said Sahil, a student in Samba.
At a makeshift migrant camp inside a community hall in Samba, over two hundred people are huddled together in the cold. The nights are frosty and these camps have no heating arrangements.
For Sharda Devi, it has been a backbreaking journey of many hours from her village Mava at the international border. The 65-year-old is worried about her children.
"We had to walk all the way from the border, there are no vehicles, we have got nothing to eat and couldn't take any clothes with us, we are facing lots of problems", she told NDTV.
