The step has been taken in a great hurry with adverse impact on people who have standing crops which are waiting to be harvested in fields. Who will prevent vandalism of houses and crops,â he asked. Brig Kahlon said that even in full fledged wars the villagers of border areas had not abandoned their houses and had helped the Army personnel deployed in the area. âIt would have been understandable to vacate certain areas if landmines were being laid. But as of now it is a hasty measure. Who will protect the livestock which cannot be taken into camps,â he asked. He added that he had been receiving calls from Sarpanches of villages along border areas who were complaining about the move. |
