The Government of India is planning to construct 14,460 bunkers for civilians in five border districts in Jammu & Kashmir \u2013 Samba, Poonch, Jammu, Kathua, and Rajouri \u2013 which reside along Line of Control (LoC) and the international Indo-Pakistani border, reports\u00a0The Times of India<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The state-owned National Buildings Construction Corporation (NBCC) will build these bunkers in populated regions that rest within 3 kilometers (1.86 miles) from the de facto border between the two countries, which have experienced an increasing amount of incursions by the Pakistani Army.<\/p>\n

In February, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti announced during a State Assembly that 41 civilians had been killed in ceasefire violations along the LoC by Pakistan between 2015 and 2017. To safeguard civilians from Pakistani shelling across the border, NBCC will build 13,029 small bunkers and 1,431 more massive community bunkers.<\/strong> The Times of India said the construction program would cost around 4.157 billion rupees (US$63.8 million).<\/p>\n
