Muzaffarabad: Fearing reprisal from India in the wake of Pulwama suicide bombing in Jammu & Kashmir, Pakistan Occupied Kashmir’s (PoK) Disaster Management Authority on Thursday issued an advisory for the region’s residents to stay away from the Line of Control (LoC). The agency has advised people to shift to ‘safe locations’ and use ‘safe roads’ for transport.

In a war-like premonition, the agency has urged the citizens to build bunkers and make use of bunkers wherever available. The agency also advised people from gathering in groups and to avoid moving at night.

Pakistan fears that India might carry out a surgical strike like operation aimed at eliminating terrorist infrastructure in the disputed region. India has repeatedly accused Pakistan of nurturing terrorist organisation who attack India with impunity.

Pakistan-based banned terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) claimed responsibility for the February 14 attack on a CRPF convoy which claimed the life of 40 troops of the paramilitary force. A 19-year-old JeM terrorist Adil Ahmad Dar rammed a Scorpio SUV laden with 350-Kgs of RDX into a bus plying with the 78-vehicle convoy.
