As tensions with India remain high, unprovoked crossborder firing along the LoC continues unabated despite there being a ceasefire in place. However, as bodies continue to fall in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) there has been a drop-in attention towards these incidents as they are either being under-reported or simply ignored. This was the contention of the AJK Prime Minister who did not mince his words over the insufficient protection being provided to civilians living in the areas closest to the LoC, most vulnerable to India’s “naked aggression”. It is the duty of the government and the forces deployed across the LoC to provide enough protection, so that there aren’t any deaths to report in the first place. There has been enough escalation in violent attacks through shelling that a temporary evacuation from the area is now merited.
