Is it that difficult to check Indian side news and report so the issue will be taken in context? Why poison people's brains with this biased coverage?

Shelling is going on for more than 30 days , why were civilians still left there , this shows the carelessness of the army and pakistan govt towards the lives of common people and parents of these children were not careful either , guess they had too many of them to handle.
