Punjab government has directed deputy commissioners of districts bordering Pakistan to ensure smooth return of people who were evacuated from their villages after the surgical strikes across LoC.
The decision was taken yesterday after Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh in a meeting at Jaisalmer reviewed the security situation with home ministers and senior officials of four
states that border Pakistan.
An official release said, the Centre had recently asked residents in districts that border Pakistan, including Ferozepur, Gurdaspur and Amritsar, to move back by about 10 km.
