• Urges swift compensation for Poonch, Rajouri families

JAMMU: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Executive Member Raman Suri today addressed the recent Indo-Pak conflict’s impact on the border areas of Poonch and Rajouri besides other areas in Kashmir acknowledging the loss of lives and property while praising the unwavering spirit of the affected communities. He emphasized the urgent need for the government to provide prompt compensation to help families rebuild their lives.

“The loss of lives in the border areas due to the recent conflict is irreparable, and our hearts go out to the families who have suffered. Yet, the courage and resilience displayed by the people of Poonch, Rajouri, and some border areas of Kashmir as well as areas like Samba and Jammu, are truly exemplary. Their unity and determination in the face of adversity stand as a testament to their patriotism. The entire nation is indebted to these brave families for their sacrifices,” Suri stated.

Following India’s decisive action in destroying terrorist camps in Pakistan and occupied Jammu and Kashmir, tensions along the border are gradually easing, and normalcy is returning to the region. Suri commended the government’s decision to reopen schools in most areas, except for a few sensitive border zones, ensuring that students’ education remains uninterrupted. “This timely decision ensures that the academic session begins on schedule, and students of classes 10th and 12th will face no delays in receiving their certificates,” he added.

Raman Suri highlighted the unity and patience demonstrated by residents during the period of heightened tension. Despite Pakistan’s shelling targeting residential areas in Samba, Jammu, Poonch, and Rajouri, causing damage to homes and livelihoods, the local communities have shown remarkable fortitude. “Within a day or two, the people of these areas have set an inspiring example of resilience, sending a powerful message of unity and courage to the nation. They have stood firm in support of the country under the most challenging circumstances,” he said.

The BJP leader urged the government to act swiftly in providing relief to the affected families. “It is imperative that the government shares the pain of the border residents by delivering prompt and adequate compensation. This will enable them to rebuild their lives and move forward. We are confident that with the government’s support, life in these areas will soon return to normal,” Suri noted. He expressed optimism about the region’s recovery, stating, “The people of Jammu and Kashmir have shown extraordinary strength.

With continued support and unity, we are hopeful that this phase will pass, and normalcy will be fully restored across all affected areas.” The Bharatiya Janata Party stands in solidarity with the residents of the border regions and reaffirms its commitment to their welfare and security, he asserted.
