Srinagar: Civilians residing across various villages of Jammu and Kashmir have expressed concern over unprovoked ceasefire violation along the Line of Control by Pakistan, as they are worried about their safety.
The constant shelling has caused heavy damages to the Indian side with houses and crop fields being destroyed. One of the biggest concerns are the mortar shells which remain undetonated, posing a grave risk for innocent lives.
"They always target the villages. Shelling happens in the morning, evening and even night. In several places, including rooftops and fields," a villager said.

"The only road which connects this village to neighbouring areas have been blocked because of these shells lying there. We request authorities to clear them as they cause grave risk for our lives," villager said.
A few days ago, the Pakistani troops had targeted Indian positions by using both small and heavy firearms in Silikote, Churunda and Tilawari areas in Baramulla district.
The Indian Army Bomb Squad today destroyed several mortar shells that were found after the recent ceasefire violation at Navva village in Uri sector.
