India blames Pakistan for the attack by gunmen on civilians at the tourist site of Pahalgam in Indian-administered Kashmir on April 22 that killed 26 men. Islamabad has rejected the charge.
“Instructions have been issued to stock food supplies for two months in the 13 constituencies along the Line of Control (LoC),“ the prime minister of Pakistan-administered Kashmir, Chaudhry Anwar ul Haq, told the local assembly on Friday.
Government and privately owned machinery was also being deployed to maintain roads in the areas along the LoC, he said.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday gave the military “complete operational freedom” to respond to the attack.
Fearing a military escalation, authorities in Pakistani Kashmir shut more than 1,000 religious schools for 10 days on Thursday.
India and Pakistan, which both claim Kashmir in full, have fought over the Himalayan territory since the end of British rule in 1947.
