Around 8,000 people displaced by firing and mortar shelling by Pakistan are still waiting in camps set up in Kathua and Samba districts of Jammu and Kashmir, though no fresh incident of ceasefire violation by Pak was reported today.

"Nearly 11000 people have so far migrated from the border villages and of them, 8000 have taken shelter in camps set up by the government in safer areas in Kathua and Samba districts," officials said today.

An uneasy calm prevailed along the International Border in Kathua and Samba districts as guns fell silent after Pakistan fired mortar shells and gunshots at over 60 villages and scores of forward posts yesterday.
