Major General Atul Kaushik (Retd) emphasized the urgent need for more bunkers in border areas, particularly in conflict-prone regions like Jammu and Kashmir and along the Line of Control. He highlighted that towns like Uri, Tangdhar, and Poonch have faced severe cross-border shelling, forcing civilians to flee. Kaushik stressed that the lack of safe havens for locals and inadequate compensation for property and livestock loss during conflicts exacerbate their suffering. He called on both central and state governments to reassess safety measures for civilians in these vulnerable areas.
