NPP protests, seeks 5 marla plots for border residents

*Revoke decision of ceasefire: Harsh

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, June 4:  Shocked over the fresh spate of mortar shelling by Pakistan in the forward villages of  RS Pura, Pargwal, Kanha Chak and Akhnoor sectors after a brief lull in which two BSF  jawans were martyred and 16 people got injured, J&K National Panthers Party  activists led by its chairman  Harsh Dev Singh  and  other leaders staged a protest demonstration at Exhibition Ground here today.
The angry protesters while raising anti-BJP slogans took a jibe at both the Central and the State Governments for failing to handle the border crisis and uphold their promise of  5 marla plots to the border residents at safer zones which had forced them to migrate to open places.
Strongly condemning the spurt in violence both in the Valley and on the borders following the declaration of the suspension of combat operations in J&K by the Govt of India, Harsh Dev urged upon the Prime Minister  Narendra Modi to revoke the decision of unilateral ceasefire with immediate effect otherwise the situation would go out of  hands and further exacerbate inviting massive death and destruction. He said that in the wake of Pak sponsored militants attacking security personnel and stone pelters going berserk in the Valley, Pakistan had been opening unprovoked fire and pounding Indian posts and forward hamlets all along the IB and LoC in Samba, Kathua, RS Pura, Akhnoor, Poonch and Rajouri sectors leading to panic and killings of several soldiers and civilians.
“Non Initiation of Combat Operations (NICO) had seriously demoralized the Army which might prove counterproductive and provide an opportunity to the terrorists to regroup and plan further mayhem in the State”, agitated Harsh said.
Anguished over the loss of property and life caused by the persistent heavy mortar shelling and firing by Pakistan on the forward villages of Jammu region, Harsh Dev Singh said that the life of the border dwellers had been thrown out of gear who were living in a terrifying atmosphere with women and children facing the worst miseries of life.
