Overview

  • Schools and colleges in Rajouri district and 30 border locations reopened on May 19, marking a cautious return to normalcy after the May 10 ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan.
  • The closures were prompted by intense cross-border shelling and drone incursions following India's Operation Sindoor, which targeted terror hubs in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
  • The ceasefire has allowed phased reopening of schools, with safety protocols in place and zonal education officers tasked with ensuring adherence to guidelines.
  • Residents, while relieved by the pause in hostilities, continue to face economic challenges, suspended construction work, and lingering fears of renewed conflict.
  • Visuals show students returning to classes and markets reopening, though public anxiety remains high, with many still adjusting to the fragile peace.
