Villagers in Gurez Appeal for Return of Livestock That Strayed Across Line of Control. In the Shahpora Chrowan area of the Gurez sector, 35 domestic animals belonging to local villagers have reportedly crossed the Line of Control (LoC) into the Pakistan-administered side near a nearby village. The incident has caused distress among the affected families, for whom livestock represent a crucial source of livelihood. According to local residents, the animals inadvertently crossed over due to the rugged terrain and lack of fencing in certain stretches along the LoC. The villagers have made a humble appeal to the authorities and people on the other side of the border particularly those in the Gilgit region to assist in ensuring the safe return of their livestock. The residents have also requested intervention from both Indian and Pakistani administrations to address the matter through mutual coordination, emphasizing the importance of humanitarian cooperation in such cross-border incidents. Local officials have acknowledged the villagers’ concerns and said they are exploring possible channels of communication to facilitate the animals’ return. Local residents Mohd Anwar, Abdul Rahman
