Jammu, May 22 (KNS): Provincial President, Youth National Conference, Ajaz Jan today expressed grave concern over Pakistani firing and shelling along International Border and Line of Control, leading to dislocation of border dwellers, killing of civilians including an eight month child.

He said bullets and shells are causing enormous human sufferings and this had to be stopped by working towards heralding peace by adhering to the ceasefire agreement.
Jan sought a policy vis a vis border population that faces the brunt of shelling and said mere words won’t solve their problems. A sense of security is to be instilled among them and necessary measures taken to meet the eventualities in terms of providing safe shelters, medicare and other facilities to the dislocated people. He said the promises made to border people have fallen flat and at times the administration fails even to shift the injured to hospitals for specialized treatments. He expressed anguish over the callousness of the coalition dispensation and said its presence is nowhere to be seen at ground zero, especially during exigencies.
