The village, situated at a stone’s throw from the Line of Control, has been deserted by its inhabitants, some of whom have migrated to Jammu. Lal, accompanied by fellow villager Kulbir Singh (54), says people want peace to return, so that they can return to their homes. It is our bad luck that whenever there is tension between the two countries we have to abandon everything and migrate from our houses,” Singh says. “These cattle would die, if we don’t risk our lives to feed them,” Singh says.
