Then the Pakistani army moved in and, according to eyewitnesses, shelled the city and machine gunned anyone who had not fled across the river. Today, visitors to Sobroom see no sign of life in Ramgarh, excpt for a few stray dogs and an occasional soldier on patrol. Only the district headquarters. occupied by the army, and the charred ruins of shops and homes remain. Many coconut, palm and mango trees are without leaves burned away by fires that swept the city during the army attack. Refugees are still pouring into Sobroom from outlying areas and officials do not know where they are going to be able to put rhem all. . The towns only two schools have both been closed indefinitely to provide room for the refugees. Others are housed under large tents where people live so close to one another there is no free space.
