CONSTRUCTION OF BUNKERS ALONG INDIA-PAKISTAN BORDER ON: JITENDRA SINGH

[Zarvan]

JAMMU: Union Minister of State in the Prime Minister's Office Jitendra Singh today said the construction of bunkers along the India-Pakistan border was underway.

"The work for constructing bunkers for the border residents as well as the process to distribute five marlas of land among the border families are in progress and every endeavour shall be made to protect their lives," he told the gathering at a function in Kathua.

Singh said over eight acres of land has been identified in Hiranagar tehsil for the five-marla plot to be distributed among those border families who migrate during firing and shelling at the border.

He added that the ex-gratia for victims of firing at the border has been increased to Rs 5 lakh, at par with militancy-related victims.

The Union minister hailed the Rs-2,000 crore package announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the Azad Kashmir refugees as a "landmark decision" and added that Rs 5 lakh per family was not the final award as said by the prime minister.

He said the Centre had given a "special thrust" on improving road connectivity in Jammu and Kashmir for which a whopping Rs 3,600 crore has been sanctioned for the 10th stage of the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) which, he said, was an "all-time high".

Under the scheme, a total of 73 roads will be constructed at an estimated cost of Rs 405 crore in Kathua district, he added.

Singh said Kathua will be developed as a model district for which several key projects have been taken up.

Bunkers are for Kashmiri Civilians to protect them from Pakistani firing.

While Pakistan will cry hoarse yet do nothing about civilian casualties, on the other hand in India is actively working to protect it civilians from Pakistani firing.

LOL We are not killing our Kashmiri brothers and sisters like you Indians are. We are investing billions along with our ally China.

Your military is killing innocent Kashmiri people. The Kashmiri people are fighting against an occupational force.

Two stark contrasts.

This is simply an announcement. Let's see how much money really gets distributed after corruption. And there are factors such as change of government as well. But in the end, money can never buy peace. Humanity can.

IS that why over two dozen Kashmiris civilians have died in Pakistani firing in last two months ?

If Pakistan were not targeting Kashmiri civilians on Indian side, India would not need spend millions of dollars of its own money to prepare bunkers to protect them.

Responsible nations, actively protects its civilians from the enemy, and not just use their deaths for propaganda.

This is the crucial Freudian slip. As 'Indian Citizens' shouldn't this be a case of their money being spent for their safety?

You should visit Pakistan administered Kashmir to see how money is not needed for people to live blissfully. Of course the regions near to Indian borders are not blissful because of India's unprovoked firing.

Right you are, it is Indian money being spent for safety of Indian citizens.
