SRINAGAR: Expressing concern over shelling along the Line of Control (LoC) and International Border in Jammu and Kashmir, main opposition National Conference (NC) president Farooq Abdullah today called for restoration of peace between the two neighbouring countries.
Making a fervent appeal to Indo-Pak leadership for taking effective and urgent measures in this regard, Dr Abdullah said escalation of tension has forced relocation of people from the forward areas which is causing enormous problems to them.
He expressed anguish over the damages caused to property and injuries to several persons in the border areas of Poonch district and sought immediate rehabilitation of the sufferers.
He prayed for early recovery of the injured and expressed solidarity with the suffering people.
Dr Abdullah also emphasised the need for providing adequate compensation to the farmers whose standing crops have been damaged due to shelling.
In addition, 27 shops have been gutted and damage caused to several auto-vehicles in two border villages of the Poonch district, he added. (AGENCIES)
