Punjab Border Villages Evacuation

The Punjab government has revoked its earlier decision to evacuate several villages along the India-Pakistan border in the state after the surgical strikes targeting terrorist launch pads across the Line of Control on September 29.

A day after India conducted surgical strikes targeting terrorist launch pads across the Line of Control, the army evacuated several villages along the India-Pakistan border in Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir. But thousands of villagers chose to remain fearing for their standing crops and property.

Residents of nearly 1,000 villages in Punjab districts bordering Pakistan are being evacuated following escalation of tension between India and Pakistan in the wake of surgical strikes by the Indian Army across the LoC in Jammu and Kashmir.
