In a strategic move, the Pakistani troops are targeting civilian population along the Line of Control (LoC) and International Border (IB) to stop developmental activities.
A couple of days back, Pakistani troops targeted civilians engaged in road construction in the Mendhar sector of Poonch district by firing a few rounds but fortunately, no one was hurt.
“Road construction has been stopped in the village after Pakistani troops targeted civilians and JCB machines engaged in work. We were constructing a 7-km-long road between Phawadi Gali to Deri village in the Mendhar sector but after the firing, we stopped the work,” a resident said.
