The federal government has chalked out a plan of Rs3 billion to protect the civilians residing along the Line of Control (LoC) with Indian-held Kashmir (IHK) in wake of prevailing situation in the region, Minister for Kashmir Affairs and Gilgit Baltistan Ali Amin Gandapur on Tuesday said. In a statement, he said under the scheme, bunkers would be constructed in those areas where it did not exist before while roads infrastructure, health units and electrical systems would be upgraded to ensure the safety of people from unprovoked firing of Indian troops from across the LoC, he added.
Condemning the recent cease fire violation along LoC by the Indian forces that injured ten civilians, including two women and two children, the minister said India could not suppress their freedom struggle of Kashmri peoples with cheap tactics.
