A man looks at the mortar shell marks on the wall of his house after firing from the Pakistani side at Chilayari village in Samba district, some 50 km from Jammu on Wednesday. Pakistan Rangers continued shelling and firing in Akhnoor, Ramgarh, Arnia and Kanachak sectors along the international border during the night.
Chalyari, the largest village along the border in Jammu’s Samba district where two women were killed on Wednesday morning in Pakistani shelling, has turned into a ghost town.
There is no one here except for a group of men who have returned to the village to graze cattle and take stock of the damage to their houses. The last shell fell in Chalyari around 11.20 a.m. on Thursday and the firing is expected to resume after sunset.
