J-K: Situation returns to normal in Reasi, schools reopen

REASI(Jammu and Kashmir): Life in Jammu and Kashmir’s Reasi returned to normal after India and Pakistan came to an understanding on the cessation of hostilities. Morning visuals showed students returning to schools.

However, local residents of a border village in the Samba district feared the Pakistan army after blasts were heard on Monday night and splinters hit one of the houses.

The roof and kitchen of the affected house have been damaged after shelling by Pakistan. Dalbeer Singh, a local, said that there was constant fear due to shelling by Pakistan.

“We were clueless last night, but we heard noises. We saw in the morning that this had happened. However, there is not much damage. We were all at home when the explosion happened. The police came later and took stock of the situation. There is an environment of fear.”

Krishan Chand, another local, said that he was sitting outside when the explosion occurred.
