Early Times Report
Poonch, Aug 29: Several school children, including girls, had a close shave on Thursday morning after Pakistani troops resorted to unprovoked mortar shelling and small arms fire, targeting even the Government Middle School at Dabraj on this side of the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir's Mendhar area of Poonch district. Sources said the students were in their classrooms when Pakistani troops started firing mortar shells and small arms. As the shells fells in close vicinity to the school building situated on a hill, teachers huddled the students in a room away from the direct firing. As panic-stricken parents rushed to the school to bring their children, they too got stuck in the firing. The students were allowed to leave when the firing stopped after more than an hour. |
