Earlier, the Chief Minister appealed to end hostility between India and Pakistan on the borders, saying that one can change friends, but not neighbours.

She earlier said that Jammu and Kashmir has struck between India and Pakistan and it's always the people of the state, who bear the brunt of the skirmishes.

"When both the countries fight we suffer the most. It is unfortunate that rather than asking for school and colleges, we ask for bunker to get protected from the ceasefire coming from the other side," he said.

She added that the there is no other options than being friends with each other and hoped that someday the situation will be peaceful.
