# Increasing Fear in India Amidst Escalating Tensions with Pakistan
As India faces heightened artillery bombardments from Pakistan, citizens express deep concerns regarding their safety and the possible continuation of conflict.
The ongoing conflict between India and Pakistan is creating unease across the nation, especially in vulnerable regions like Jammu and Kashmir. Recent reports have highlighted that the Indian-administered area has been subjected to heavy bombardment by Pakistani forces, marking a significant uptick in hostilities.
The turmoil began following a terrorist attack on April 22 in Kashmir, which prompted India to launch "Operation Sindoor," aimed at retaliating against threats from across the border. In the Poonch district—a mere six miles from the line of control—residents are grappling with fear as casualties mount. According to local resident Narinder Singh, recent shelling has led to the deaths of numerous civilians, highlighting the alarming scale of the attacks.
Historically, while shelling events have occurred in Poonch, the intensity and severity of current bombardments have left lasting marks on the community. Singh reported that it has been several decades since the region experienced such perilous circumstances, likening it to the tumultuous times during the 1971 war.
Markets have shuttered, and a cloud of anxiety now hangs over local streets, with only essential services remaining operational. The situation continues to evolve, as residents adapt by seeking refuge in safer locations. “People are now learning how to stay safe amid this chaos,” Singh noted, registering a response to the shifting landscape of threat.
As the conflict escalates and the risk of broader military engagement looms, the sentiments among ordinary Indians suggest a significant longing for peace and stability in a region traditionally fraught with discord.
