Deputy CM Surinder Choudhary reviews security, hospital arrangements in Rajouri
JAMMU, May 9 (Agencies): Jammu and Kashmir Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary arrived in Rajouri on Friday morning to review the security situation in the region. During his visit, he conducted a thorough review of the hospital arrangements in the district, which has been a focal point for recent security concerns.
Choudhary emphasised that this was not the first instance of Pakistan launching attacks against India.
“I reached Rajouri in the morning. I have reviewed the hospital arrangements. This is not the first time Pakistan has attacked India…our people are brave. They (Pakistan) think that they can break the morale of people of India, especially J&K people, that is wrong,” he told ANI.
“People are standing with the Indian armed forces bravely. Pakistan will get a befitting reply. I appeal to people to keep up the brotherhood,” DY CM Choudhary added.
In a related development, civilian houses in a border town of Jammu and Kashmir were damaged last night due to shelling by Pakistan. The situation prompted local authorities to take preventive measures, including the closure of schools, colleges, and educational institutions in Udhampur on Friday.
