Normalcy Returns After India-Pakistan Border Ceasefire Amid Ongoing Tensions

Following a ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan, normalcy has gradually returned in border districts such as Jaisalmer, Barmer, and Reasi, with schools reopening and markets bustling. Despite this, tension persists in some areas, especially in Samba district, where recent shelling and drone interceptions have caused fear among residents. A missile landing in a Jaisalmer agricultural field was safely defused, underscoring ongoing security concerns. Authorities have urged vigilance, with police arresting suspects and advising the public to report suspicious items. Financial markets in both countries reacted positively to the ceasefire, signaling cautious optimism, although tens of thousands remain displaced. Overall, while the ceasefire has reduced hostilities and restored daily routines, some apprehension remains along the border regions.
