Video shows damages caused in Gurudwara in J&K as Pak fires at LoC
The fragile peace along the Line of Control (LoC) was disrupted once again as Pakistan opened fire at Indian positions, resulting in widespread damage and loss of life. The border town of Poonch in Jammu and Kashmir was targeted by Pakistani forces, who fired mortar shells and small arms at Indian positions. The shelling and firing caused significant damage to the surrounding areas, including a historic Gurudwara.
A video shared by ANI shows the extent of the damage caused to Gurudwara Shri Guru Singh Sabha in Poonch. The video shows broken windows and shattered glasses, a stark reminder of the destructive power of the artillery fire. The Gurudwara, a place of worship for the Sikh community, was hit by Pakistani mortar shells, causing significant damage to the structure and its surroundings.
The video, which has gone viral on social media, shows the extent of the destruction caused by the Pakistani firing. The Gurudwara’s windows are seen broken, and the glass is shattered on the floor. The video also shows debris scattered all over the place, a testament to the intensity of the firing.
The Pakistani firing began early in the morning, with Indian troops responding swiftly to the aggression. The Indian Army, along with the Border Security Force (BSF) and the Jammu and Kashmir Police, were mobilized to respond to the Pakistani attack.
The firing caused widespread panic in the border town, with many residents fleeing their homes to safer areas. The shelling and firing also resulted in significant damage to civilian properties, including homes and shops.
According to official sources, at least 15 civilians have been killed and 43 injured in the shelling and firing by Pakistani forces. The injured have been evacuated to nearby hospitals for treatment.
The Pakistani firing was part of a larger pattern of aggression along the LoC, which has been ongoing for several weeks. Tensions between India and Pakistan have been high since the Indian government revoked the special status of Jammu and Kashmir in August 2019.
The Pakistani government has been trying to internationalize the Kashmir issue, but its efforts have been met with resistance from the international community. The Pakistani military has been trying to use its artillery and small arms to target Indian positions along the LoC, but its efforts have been foiled by the Indian Army.
The Indian government has been urging the international community to condemn Pakistan’s aggression and to support India’s efforts to maintain peace and stability along the LoC. The government has also been trying to strengthen its defenses along the LoC, with the Indian Army deploying additional troops and equipment to respond to Pakistani aggression.
The people of Poonch and other border areas have been living under constant threat of Pakistani shelling and firing, which has caused significant damage to their properties and livelihoods. The Indian government has been trying to provide relief to the affected families, but the destruction caused by the Pakistani firing has been widespread and devastating.
In conclusion, the video showing the damage caused to Gurudwara Shri Guru Singh Sabha in Poonch is a stark reminder of the destructive power of war and the importance of maintaining peace and stability along the LoC. The Indian government must continue to take strong measures to respond to Pakistani aggression and to protect the lives and properties of its citizens.
