Indian developing military doctrine has a significant disadvantage. If any terrorist act is now considered a war act, it naturally increases the likelihood of retaliation and preventive actions from the whole border.
The natural consequence follows. Does India have enough bombs, bomber shelters, even underground anti-festive refuge, if it deteriorates than this month during the 4-day War in Indo-Pakistan?

Since the war is increasingly technical and susceptible to drones, it is not just international boundaries that are dangerous. As has recently been proven, missiles were designed and used to target defensive facilities in urban areas. Their scope and abilities have expanded significantly in recent years, allowing them to hit the targets deep in enemy territory.
How safe are Indian civilians?
How safe are Indian civilians, soft targets in a larger game?
Major General Atul Kushik (Retd) recently said that it is urgently necessary to build more bunkers for people living in border areas.
“People living in border towns and villages often bear the onslaught of conflict, especially in regions such as Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) and along the control line (LOC),” the officer said in his statement. He said that cities like Uri, Tangdhar and Poonch were strictly influenced in the recent cross -threatening stretching that they learned into the cognitive elements. “
6.-7. May Pakistani shelling in Poonch and Tangdhar J&K killed 15 and injured 43 after India started the “Sindoor operation” in response to the attack of Pahalgam, the defense officials said. According to the final number of 18 civilians, they lost their lives in Pakistan’s shelling and fire during a four -day confrontation.
The numbers may be higher. It would also be instructive to realize that shooting through LOC is not one -off. It could take place at any time, without warning.
Civilian victims emphasize a decisive problem – lack of sufficient bunkers and safe paradises for the local population. In cases of cross -border victims, scheme of compensation of a fixed amount £Five lakh for other relatives was repaired. Add to it the destruction of property and livestock during these conflicts, which is rarely adequately compensated and leaves families in crisis.
Bunker design
According to a government official, the Indian government actively promotes the construction of bunkers and other shelters in border areas, especially Jammu and Kashmir, to protect civilian populations from potential threats. This is driven by the need to prevent mass relocation during conflicts and provide immediate safety during shelling or other emergency events.

These bunkers, constructed extensively during the second term of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, exist mainly along LOC and the international border (IB) in Jammu and Kashmir. Designed to protect civilians from the fire of mortar and infiltration, reflect the main government pressure to secure border communities.
According to media reports, nearly 8,000 underground shelters in the province of Jammu were built by 2021. Initially, the center approved 14,460 bunkers in five districts – Jammu, Kathhua, Samba, Poonch and Rajouri – and later approved 4,000 others and expanded the protection of vulnerable villages.
How do these data compare with the West, where the perception of threats is significantly lower and the populated areas are relatively smaller? The country, like Sweden and Finland, have a large number of bomb shelters that reflect their readiness for potential conflicts. For example, Sweden has 64,000 shelters with space for up to seven million people. The Finnish extensive civil defense system – under the threat of Russian weapons along its 1,340 km borders – includes more than 50,000 shelters with a capacity to place a large part of their population.
Survival Skills of Nuclear War
Reference skills for survival of nuclear wars have said that since 1986, “Switzerland has the best civil defense system that already includes explosive shelters for more than 85 percent of all its citizens.” In 2006, about 300,000 shelters were built in private residences, institutions and hospitals, as well as 5,100 public places.
For comparison, the Indian Civil Defense Structure, as has recently been shown, belonged to the era of World War II films. The decision of the Central Government to perform exercises across 244 designated civil defense districts in order for citizens to become familiar with the war time and emergency protocols on May 7, including sirens and simulined drills, could hardly be considered effective in the era of accuracy, targeted bombing from distances 150 km away.
The existence of designated bomb shelters or public safe zones in Indian cities against air attacks are unheard of. Officials argue that while some underground metro stations and basements of buildings are identified as potential safe paradise, they were not originally built for this purpose.

Due to the density of the population of Indian cities, the construction is not an easy choice. Sunita Singh, an accredited social health activist (ASHA), a voluntary community healthcare professional, says there is hardly enough space at her workplace to stand on her workplace, Gokulpuri Colony, northeast Delhi.
According to the People census in 2011, the northeastern Delhi is the most densely populated area in the capital with 37,346 people per square km. This district includes colonies such as Bhajanpura, Gokulpuri, Seelampura and Shahdar, which are bulging at the seams.
People living in border towns and villages often bear the onslaught of conflict, especially in regions such as Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) and along the LOC line (LOC).
Public details of nuclear bunkers or opponents of steal are sparse, but the VIP in the government has protection, which remains a tightly guarded secrets.
For the time being, the common public must defend themselves if possible.
