To promote tourism, the Union Territory Jammu and Kashmir Administration has started a unique initiative along the India-Pakistan International Border. The work of building a modern bunker has been started in Ramgarh sector located in Samba district of Jammu division. These are the first such bunkers, which are equipped with TV, AC, kitchen, almirah, bed, dining table, 24 hours electricity, water, WiFi, library and other facilities, in which two bunkers have been built while the government’s aim is India-Pakistan. A total of 370 such modern bunkers are to be built on the border this year.
News 18 India team reached Ramgarh sector of India-Pakistan international border, where two modern bunkers have been completed. This modern bunker will act as a protective shield. Now if the enemy country Pakistan violates the ceasefire or opens fire from across the border, then nothing will happen to the people present in these bunkers. It has been seen for some time that ceasefire violations have been stopped and attempts at terrorist infiltration have also reduced, but now Pakistan is supplying drugs and weapons through drones.
In such a situation, the people of rural areas have been most affected. According to the information, there has been no ceasefire violation by Pakistan on the international border after 2021. A large number of tourists from all over the country come to the international border and they are interested in how the country’s soldiers protect the borders day and night, in winter and summer. He could experience the experience by spending the night with him or by visiting that area, but due to the nefarious efforts of Pakistan, his wish was not being fulfilled.
Now, with the possible efforts of the government, the administration of the Union Territory has constructed these bunkers, which is special in itself. The specialty of the bunker is that tourists coming from all over the country and local villagers can stay there without any worries. During that time, even if Pakistan fires, the people living in the bunker will not be spared. Along with this, hotel like facilities have been provided inside the bunker. Internet WiFi, TV, Almirah, library, dining table, air conditioner and other facilities are available. There is an atmosphere of happiness among the local people regarding these bankers. They said that we are grateful for this gift given to us by the government.
When local villagers were talked to, they told that even Pakistan cannot be trusted. During the firing, the situation here was such that people left their homes and cattle and camped at different places and children were shifted somewhere else. He said that now we can accommodate 40 people at a time in these bunkers and on top of that, we will also get the opportunity to earn employment from the tourists who will come here.
