WIDE SHOT OF STREET URI, KASHMIR - MAY 11: The ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan has brought relief to the people who were forced to flee their homes in Uri, Kashmir. The ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan has led to a significant reduction in violence along the Line of Control where residents had been living in fear of shelling and violence. In a pre-dawn announcement, Pakistan launched the operation in retaliation for New Delhi's Operation Sindoor inside Pakistan, hitting what New Delhi said were "nine terror locations," killing 33 people and injuring 62, according to the Pakistani army. Since the latest escalation began, at least 21 people were killed along the Line of Control due to cross-border shelling in Indian-administered Kashmir, officials said. After days of intense shelling and violence, the residents of Uri are slowly returning to their homes. “Things seem to be looking up, I've heard that the situation is gradually improving. While people who left haven't started coming back in large numbers, some are back,” said city resident Mehmood Ahmad. “The market is also slowly reopening. It's too early to say if the situation is fully stable, and people are still cautious,” he added. Another city resident Azeeb Khan stressed that the last four days have been traumatized with heavy shelling in Gingal and Uri, causing widespread fear. He called on both the Indian and Pakistani governments to find a solution to the crisis and said “We believe that a peaceful resolution can only be achieved through dialogue and negotiations.”
