The Jammu and Kashmir Police on Sunday asked the border villages residents, who were evacuated to safer places in view of cross border shelling by Pakistan, not to rush back to their homes, reported the PTI.
The authorities were yet to sanitize and clear these areas of any unexplored shells and hence the residents must not rush back to their homes.
