IndinaNewsToday spoke to a cross-section of senior retired defence
officers who were unanimous in saying that the decision to vacate the
villages was not well thought of.
The Punjab government’s decision to evacuate villagers from the border areas, following the cross-LoC strike by Indian Army in Jammu and Kashmir, has come under criticism from military experts who have termed the decision as unwarranted and premature. A massive evacuation exercise has been launched by the state government in the villages falling in the vicinity of the Indo-Pak international border in six districts of Fazilka, Ferozepur, Tarn Taran, Amritsar, Gurdaspur and Pathankot. Special camps have been set up in the hinterland to re-locate the population which is being moved from the border areas.
The Indian Express spoke to a cross-section of senior retired defence officers who were unanimous in saying that the decision to vacate the villages was not well thought of especially when the Army itself had not shown any signs of mobilisation and had not occupied the forward defences.
