The CPI(M) delegation led by party general secretary M.A. Baby visited different parts of Uri on Tuesday (June 10, 2025) to assess the damage caused due to shelling from Pakistan.

Contribute now New Delhi: A delegation of parliamentarians from the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI)(M) led by party general secretary M.A. Baby visited the areas affected by Pakistani shelling in Uri in Baramulla district of Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday (June 10). The delegation demanded that the compensation of Rs. 1.30 lakh that has been announced for each family should be reviewed. The area had come under heavy shelling during the skirmishes between troops of India and Pakistan after India launched Operation Sindoor to dismantle suspected terror infrastructure in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and mainland Pakistan. At least 20 border residents lost their lives while dozens were injured in the four-day aerial skirmishes between the armies of India and Pakistan last month. While speaking to reporters, Baby reiterated the demand for a special session of parliament to discuss the plight of border residents and said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's rhetoric cannot compensate what people in border areas such as Poonch, Kupwara and Baramulla have suffered, reported The Economic Times. 'The situation here is highly distressing. Devastation and destruction created due to shelling is huge. The government has promised Rs. 1.30 lakh compensation for each family but this is very less considering the situation on ground,' said Baby. He added that the Prime Minister is refusing to discuss the plight of people in border areas in a special session of parliament, despite the Opposition's calls for the same.
