Poonch: The army organised an 'Iftaar' (a ritual ceremony of breaking fast during Ramzan after dusk) party for the residents of Krishna Ghati sector in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district. The locals participated in the feast on Tuesday
with full enthusiasm and said that it would help in increasing communication between
the civilians and the Army. "We are happy that the army officials employed in
this region have organised an 'Iftaar' party for us. This will help in decreasing
the differences between the civilians and the Army," said Mohammad Azam, a resident.
The Brigade Commander of Krishna Ghati sector also joined the 'Iftaar' party.
At the event, he said Krishna Ghati sector is one of the sensitive border areas
and all efforts have been made to maintain peace. "I give full assurance to the
locals that no bombings and firing in this area will happen again as we are on
alert. If any kind of problem arises from the other side, then we will surely
give answer to them, whether it is bombings, firings, militancy or infiltration,"
said Dushant Singh, Brigade Commander of Krishna Ghati sector, Poonch. "In our
country, all the religions including Hindu, Muslim, Sikhs and Christians live
with love and brotherhood and with this feeling we have organised this 'Iftaar'
party," he added. Army officials said the party was organised with a message for
Pakistan that Muslims living in Krishna Ghati sector are the real Indians, and
they are ready to face any challenge from Pakistan.
