Situation Under Control in Kutch, No Need for Panic: District Collector

Bhuj: Although a ceasefire was declared following the recent escalation between India and Pakistan, Pakistan reportedly violated the truce within hours at several locations, keeping Indian security forces on high alert. Amid this tense atmosphere, rumors have been spreading rapidly. On Saturday, reports emerged that Pakistani drones were seen in the skies over Jakhau and Naliya, near the international maritime border in Kutch’s Abdasa taluka. However, no official confirmation has been issued regarding these drone sightings.
