One year after Operation Sindoor, which saw intense shelling from across the border, the scars remain deep in Poonch, Jammu and Kashmir. During the operation, 28 people lost their lives, including children, as families sought safety amidst the chaos. Sanjeev Kumar, who lost his 14-year-old son Vihaan in the shelling, described how life has changed irreparably since that tragic day. His wife was also injured and is still receiving treatment. Rameez Khan, who lost his twin children, expressed feelings of purposelessness following their deaths. Shahida Kouser, who lost her husband, struggles to support her three children while dealing with the aftermath of the tragedy. Residents report that the shelling was unprecedented, with around 200 mortar shells fired in just two days, leading to widespread destruction. Survivors are calling on the government to build memorials for the victims and shelters for protection against future attacks, emphasizing that their wounds remain fresh despite the passage of time.
