Srinagar, Jan 10: In a heartwarming display of unity and kindness, people across Kashmir have opened their homes to help those affected by recent cross-border shelling.
Heavy firing along the Line of Control forced many families from areas like Uri, Baramulla, Tangdar, Chowkibal, and other areas close to the borders to flee in search of safety.

Among the first to respond was MLA Langate Sheikh Khurshid, who not only opened his home but also shared contact numbers on social media for those in need. “We are with our people. Our doors are open, and help will reach wherever it’s needed,” he said in a message posted online.

MLA Handwara Sajad Lone also extended his support to displaced families, providing shelter and assistance. In a touching gesture, SP-ranked officer Shabir Khan, currently posted in Srinagar, opened his home to residents of Uri. His actions were praised widely, showing that compassion knows no rank or uniform.

Many ordinary citizens followed suit, offering rooms, food, and essentials. Homes in Kupwara, Srinagar, and Baramulla have become safe havens for those forced to leave everything behind.

“We left our house in the middle of the night when the shelling got worse. We didn’t even carry clothes. But here in Kupwara, people we didn’t know have welcomed us,” said Gulzar Ahmad, a resident of Tangdar.
Another displaced woman, Shaheena Bano from Chowkibal, shared, “I was scared for my children. But now, seeing how people are helping, I feel hopeful again.”

Social media played a big role, with people offering shelter, food, and transport to affected families. The outpouring of help has shown the strength of community spirit in Kashmir.

Despite the destruction caused by shelling, especially in border villages, the new era begins with hope. These acts of kindness remind us that in times of crisis, humanity shines brightest.
