“Risking their lives officials and police evacuated 996 people from various shelling hit villages and shifted them to various camps established by district administration where facilities of ration, cooking, drinking water, sanitation, first aid and proper accommodation have been provided,” Choudhary said.
So far, three camps have been made operational and 28 others notified in wake of expected migration from affected villages, Choudhary said.
“Six ambulances have been pressed into action for shifting of injured and treatment. One mobile medical unit was stationed at Nowshera and another deputed to forward areas,” he added.
Around 120 officers from various departments have been deployed to organise facilities at relief camp.
The district administration has provided immediate relief and financial assistance to the next of kin of the deceased and to the injured, he said.
A control room has been established in the office of SDM Nowshera for coordination.
The government had last month said that Pakistani security forces had violated the ceasefire 268 times in the last one year.
The ceasefire between India and Pakistan came into force in November 2003.
