NEW DELHI: Life in the border districts of Jaisalmer and Barmer has returned to normal, with schools and markets operating as usual. In Jaisalmer, schools reopened today after being closed on May 7 following the Operation Sindoor that targeted terror sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
Barmer remained peaceful with no reports of drone activity, firing, or shelling during the night. Local markets were bustling with residents going about their regular activities.
A girls' school vice principal in Jaisalmer confirmed that conditions have normalised, with complete staff attendance at the institution.
"The situation is very normal. Schools are open, and the staff attendance is full. The children are reaching school, and the order has not yet been received from the department regarding the exams for the ninth and eleventh grades. As soon as the order comes, the exam will be conducted," she stated.
In Reasi, Jammu and Kashmir, daily life resumed its usual pace following an agreement between India and Pakistan on ceasing hostilities.
Students were observed heading back to their schools in the morning.
Nevertheless, residents of a border village in Samba district expressed concerns about potential violations by the Pakistan army after explosions were heard on Monday night, with fragments striking a house.
The Pakistani shelling caused damage to the roof and kitchen of one residence. Dalbeer Singh, a resident, expressed ongoing anxiety due to the shelling.
"We were clueless last night, but we heard noises. We saw in the morning that this had happened. However, there is not much damage. We were all at home when the explosion happened. The police came later and took stock of the situation. There is an environment of fear."
Prakar Singh, from a neighbouring border village, stated, "When the drone firing happened, I was trying to calm my kids. Pakistan is not ready to agree."
On Monday evening, Indian air defence systems intercepted Pakistani drones in Samba during a blackout, with visible red streaks and audible explosions. Army sources indicated that a limited number of drones had entered the Samba sector.
Military officials confirmed that the drone incursion in the Samba sector was minimal, being actively countered, and warranted no significant concern.
