Description
Fearing escalation, many in Sainth village near India’s tense border with Pakistan have moved to safer places inland. Yet for the hundreds of residents of this farming community by the Chenab river, fear has given way to fatigue, as they brace for uncertainty along the heavily militarised frontier.
"In 1999, it was more intense because [mortar] shelling would cross over our homes. It was tense then, and it’s tense now. After the Pahalgam incident, there’s a lot of worry. Children are scared, the elderly are scared — everyone is living in fear," Vikram Singh, a Sainth resident said. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
