💨 Abstract

In Akhnoor, a border region between India and Pakistan, villagers like Bachan Lal have long endured frequent shelling and ceasefire violations. The area, known as the "Akhnoor Dagger" in Pakistan and "Chicken's Neck" in India, is strategically significant and has been a conflict hotspot since independence. Recent shelling destroyed Lal's home and damaged nearby villages.
