Underground community bunkers have become second home for the border residents in RS Pura Sector trying to save their lives in the face of relentless ceasefire violations by Pakistan Rangers along the International Border.
After spending all his lifelong savings, Nagar Singh (60) constructed a house in Abdullian village which is a stone's throw away from the International Border, but he along with his family has spent more time in the bunkers than in his own house.
The bullet marks and the big holes created by the mortar shells in the house of Nagar Singh stand as testimony of what the border residents like him have to go through whenever there is a ceasefire violation from the Pakistani side.
The government has constructed over 43 community bunkers in Jammu district whereas 47 more are under construction.
