India Removes Unauthorised Structures Outside Pakistan High Commission in Reciprocal Move
Indian authorities removed unauthorised security structures and barricades outside the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi, following Pakistan's similar action at the Indian High Commission in Islamabad three days earlier. The removal targeted encroachments beyond the mission's approved boundary, including queue-management installations near the visa section. This reciprocal move reflects ongoing diplomatic tensions between the two countries, which escalated after a terrorist attack in Pahalgam and subsequent military exchanges. The developments coincide with heightened diplomatic activity involving the US, whose ambassador recently described Jammu and Kashmir as an "important part of India."
