Operation Sindoor was conducted in retaliation for the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir, which claimed 26 civilian lives. The strikes, aimed at destroying infrastructure belonging to groups such as Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba, have significantly heightened tensions along the Indo-Pak border.
While some areas along the border remain calm, Ferozepur’s villages including Tendi Wala, Kalu Wala, Gatti Rajo Ke, Jhugge Hazara, Navi Gatti Rajo Ke, Gatti Rahime Ke, Chandiwala, Basti Bhanewali, and Jallo Ke have witnessed families packing up and relocating to their relatives' homes further inland. Many villagers have taken this step voluntarily, particularly moving women and children, citing proximity to the International Border and fear of possible retaliation.
