After the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, tension has once again prevailed between India and Pakistan, but the scene is completely different in those first villages of six districts of Punjab bordering Pakistan, Amritsar, Tarn Taran, Gurdaspur, Pathankot, Ferozepur and Fazilka.
There is no fear or panic anywhere. Work can be seen going on in the fields. Children are going to school on bicycles and discussions are going on about the weather and crops in the village chaupals. People say that even if a war breaks out, they will not leave the village. When the BSF is with them, then what is the worry.
The team took stock of the ground reality of the villages of Punjab bordering Pakistan. Everything looked like normal days in the village of Rodawala Khurd (Attari) in Amritsar.
