As soon as we hear anything, we rush to the bunkers where it is much safer. We are extremely grateful to the government for this," Ram told ."Earlier, when there was firing, we used to either rush to the school or stay inside our homes and wait for it to get over while fearing for our lives. My family and I have set up our home in the bunker itself so that we don't have to go out at all. We feel safe here," Hardeep Kumar, another resident of the village said.Kumar's wife, Jyoti Devi, also feels much safer in the bunker as she believes that staying inside the bunker will keep their daughter safe, too."I am so grateful to the government for constructing this.

We have brought our beds, stove and all our utensils here so that we can live down here. It is the perfect size for a three-person like ours," Devi told .( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
