The situation in the states bordering Pakistan is now starting to get back to normal. The situation in the border areas had become extremely critical in the conflict between India and Pakistan for the past few days. The firing and attacks from both sides had become a big concern for the common people.

The businesses of the three states had come to a standstill. Many airports in the three border states were closed for traffic. People were forced to leave their homes in many border villages of Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir.

After the ceasefire between the two countries yesterday, life in the three states has started returning to normal. On Sunday morning, the situation seemed to be getting back to normal to a large extent. Markets started opening in the border cities and activities are going on as usual.
