“Small arms firing at some places on the Line of Control initiated by the Pakistan Army was effectively responded to by the Indian Army. No casualties were reported,” Indian Army officials said. The Pahalgam Terror Attack, which took place in the fabled Baisaran meadow of Pahalgam on April 22, occurred on the same day that United States Vice President JD Vance was in India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi was on a state visit to Saudi Arabia.
The Indian Army is on a high alert, launching several search operations to neutralise the terrorists following the attack in Pahalgam.
In addition to reducing the number of officers in the High Commissions on both sides, the union government announced a number of diplomatic measures, including closing the Integrated Check Post (ICP) at Attari and suspending the SAARC Visa Exemption Scheme (SVES) for Pakistani nationals, giving them 40 hours to return to their country.
“The Pakistani High Commission in New Delhi has proclaimed its Defence/Military, Naval, and Air Advisors Persona Non Grata. They can depart India in a week. The Indian High Commission in Islamabad will no longer have its own Defense, Navy, and Air Advisors. These positions are considered revoked in their respective High Commissions. Additionally, five of the Service Advisors’ support staff would be removed from both High Commissions, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri announced.
The Pahalgam Terror Attack has sparked nationwide outrage, with widespread protests erupting across the country, demanding stricter action against Pakistan in response to the attack.
