"We appeal India and Pakistan leadership for taking effective and urgent measures for restoration of peace along the Line of Control and International Borders in Jammu and Kashmir," the former chief minister said in a statement here.
He said the main brunt of the shelling is being faced by the border dwellers as escalation of tension has led to relocation of people from the forward areas that is causing enormous problems to them.
He prayed for early recovery of the injured and expressed solidarity with the people.
Abdullah also emphasised the need for providing adequate compensation to the farmers whose standing crops have been damaged due to shelling.
