SRINAGAR, India — Thousands of people from the northern Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir headed back to their homes near the de facto border with rival Pakistan on Wednesday, after their armies agreed to stop exchanging artillery fire following repeated recent clashes.

Mountainous Kashmir is divided between the nuclear-armed neighbors, who both claim it in full and have fought two of their three wars over the region since their separation in 1947. On Tuesday, their armies agreed to  "fully implement"  a 2003 ceasefire agreement.

Bacchan Lal, the headman of Abdullian village in Jammu and Kashmir, who has been living in a college with 350 other people over the past two weeks, said such agreements rarely last long.

查谟和克什米尔Abdullalian村的村长Bachan Lal说，过去两周来，他与另外350人住在一所大学里，这种协议很少能持续很长。

"They agree to respect the ceasefire several times every year but then they violate it again. Every time people are killed, cattle perish and we end up in such camps,"  he said.  "We are in camps for the second time this year. We don't want this uncertainty. We want permanent peace as we had 30 years ago" .

他说：“他们同意每年遵守停火几次，但随后他们再次违反停火，每次人们被杀死，牛死亡，最后我们死在营地里，” 他说：“今年我们第二次在营地里。我们不想要这种不确定性，我们希望像30年前那样实现永久和平。

Farmer Chuni Lal, 45, said he was worried about a delay in sowing premium Basmati rice this year because of the hostility. He said tillers like him could not afford to miss the key planting season, urging the countries to find a lasting solution to the regular outbreaks of firing.
