Farming amid fear: Border villagers vigilant against rising Pakistan threats

Jammu: Farmers in the RS Pura sector along the International Border are busy harvesting their crops and clearing weeds, determined to maintain their fields even as tensions continue to simmer in the area.

Residents say they are staying vigilant, noting that “Pakistan cannot be trusted,” a view shaped by previous incidents along the border. While officials have described India’s Operation Sindoor as a strong and effective response, locals believe Pakistan’s activities across the border have not fully died down.
