JAMMU, Oct 5: Expressing his serious concern over truce violation incidences on the Line of Control (LoC) and International Border (IB) during the last 48 hours in different areas of Jammu region, senior PDP leader Vikramaditya Singh today emphasized on the need of maintaining spirit of the ceasefire at any cost for the interests of the common masses.
He said that instead of reacting in a kneejerk manner, Governments of both India and Pakistan should take some concrete step to restore lasting and sustainable peace on the borders because further escalation of hostility on the borders was not in the interests of the common masses living on both sides of the LoC and IB.
In a statement issued here today, Vikramaditya asked the authorities to immediately provide relief to the families affected by the firing from across the border in different areas of Jammu region. “The situation necessitates that instead of indulging into provocative utterance there is need that some effective steps should be taken to prevent another era of turmoil and destruction in border belt”, he said.
He recalled how residents of border areas had faced worst situation during hostility between India and Pakistan before announcement of cease-fire on the borders in the year 2003.
While condemning loss of human lives and properties due to firing from other side of the border, Vikramaditya Singh asked the Government to provide immediate relief to all the affected families.
Recalling his visit to the border areas in the month of August this year, he mentioned that hundreds and hundreds of families had left their homes and hearths due to shelling from across the border.
