On May 7, cross-border shelling from Pakistan killed 13 civilians in Poonch and left several others injured. Among the deceased was 52-year-old Amrik Singh. But his nephew Jamrodh Singh says it could all have been different had the local administration issued a proper warning.
“Had they warned us in time, we would have moved to safety,” he says. “We mistook it for another mock drill, and many lost their lives.”
