The farmers of villages in RS Pura and Suchetgarh sectors - known for growing the fabled basmati - are living in fear due to the roaring guns on both sides of the restive international border. This sowing season, they are fearful of stepping on to their fields, lest unexploded shells that are littered around might go off and kill or maim them. In all, 12 people, including 5 soldiers, have lost their lives in the fresh bout of firing along IB and LoC. More than 50 civilians have been wounded, an indication that populated areas are being targeted.
