Jammu and Kashmir administration is actively assessing the damage and expediting relief efforts in border areas affected by recent shelling from across the Line of Control (Loc) amid the India-Pakistan tensions, the union territory's Chief Secretary Atal Dulloo said.

"You saw that the shelling from across the Line of Control has targeted civilian areas. Many people have been injured, many have lost their livestock, and their houses have been damaged," Dulloo said on Tuesday.
