India Removes Unauthorized Barricades Outside Pakistan High Commission in Reciprocal Move
Indian authorities removed unauthorized security barricades and structures outside the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi, following a reciprocal move by Pakistani officials who dismantled similar barriers outside the Indian High Commission in Islamabad. The removal targeted encroachments beyond the diplomatic compound's approved boundary, particularly near the visa section. This tit-for-tat action reflects ongoing diplomatic tensions between the two countries, which have remained strained since last year's Pahalgam terror attack and subsequent military exchanges. The developments coincided with US Ambassador Sergio Gor's visit to Jammu and Kashmir, where he described the region as an "important part of India," prompting protests from Pakistan.
