We’ll Sit & Spend the Night: Jammu Man in Bunker with 30 People after Pak Violates Ceasefire
On a fateful Saturday, a Jammu man found himself taking shelter inside a bunker with approximately 30 people after Pakistan’s ceasefire violations. The incident occurred when Pakistan’s forces deliberately targeted Indian civilians and military personnel along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir. The man, who wishes to remain anonymous, shared his harrowing experience with a local news channel, recounting the events that unfolded on that chaotic night.
“We’ll sit and spend the night. There’s no way we’ll sleep,” the man said, his voice laced with determination. When asked about their morale, he replied, “Our morale is high, we stand with the Indian Army and we’ll stay at the border till our last breath.” This unwavering resolve is a testament to the unshakeable spirit of the people living in the border regions of Jammu and Kashmir.
The man’s account begins on a routine evening, with the sounds of daily life echoing through the streets of Jammu. However, the tranquility was short-lived, as the skies darkened, and the sounds of artillery fire and mortar shells grew louder. “We heard the sound of shells falling nearby, and we knew something was amiss,” he recollected. With the situation escalating rapidly, the man and his companions hastily made their way to a nearby bunker, seeking refuge from the hail of bullets and shells.
As they arrived at the bunker, the man described the scene as “chaotic” with people “running helter-skelter” to find safety. The bunker, designed to provide protection from shelling and gunfire, became a makeshift shelter for the group of frightened civilians. With no clear end in sight, the man and his companions settled in for a long, anxious night.
Despite the trepidation and fear that gripped their hearts, the man and his companions refused to succumb to despair. “We’ve full faith in our Army,” he emphasized, his voice filled with conviction. This unwavering trust in the Indian Armed Forces is a hallmark of the people living in Jammu and Kashmir, who have witnessed the bravery and sacrifice of Indian soldiers firsthand.
The man’s words echo the sentiments of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, who have faced numerous ceasefire violations at the hands of Pakistan. These violations, which have resulted in the loss of innocent lives and property, have only strengthened the resolve of the people to stand united with the Indian Army.
The incident serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the people of Jammu and Kashmir, who live in the shadow of the border, constantly exposed to the threat of violence and terrorism. Despite the challenges and hardships they face, the people of Jammu and Kashmir remain resolute in their commitment to the Indian nation, refusing to be deterred by the constant barrage of attacks from across the border.
As the man and his companions huddled together in the bunker, their resolve was tested by the relentless shelling and gunfire. Yet, they remained steadfast in their determination to stand with the Indian Army, their morale unwavering in the face of adversity.
