Days after India and Pakistan agreed for a ceasefire after continuous hostilities at the border, normalcy is slowing restoring in Jammu and Kashmir as several schools in the non-border districts have reopened on May 13. Visuals have also emerged showing people slowly getting back to their regular life after a pause owing to the rising tensions between India and Pakistan following the deadly Pahalgam terror attack on April 22.
