In a strong response to the brutal terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam, which claimed 26 civilian lives, India on Wednesday unveiled a set of major diplomatic and strategic countermeasures aimed at Pakistan.<\/p>\n
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) outlined five key actions as part of what it described as a \u201cdecisive response to cross-border terrorism.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n India has suspended its cooperation under the Indus Waters Treaty, which allows 39 billion cubic meters of water to flow into Pakistan each year. This historic treaty, often viewed as a rare symbol of cooperation between the two nations, has now been put on hold.<\/p>\n The Attari-Wagah land crossing, a vital route for trade and people-to-people contact, has been shut down immediately.<\/p>\n India has indefinitely suspended the entry of Pakistani citizens. This includes all visa services and cross-border travel permits.<\/p>\n All Pakistani military advisors stationed at their High Commission in New Delhi have been ordered to leave the country, marking a clear downgrading of military-level diplomatic ties.<\/p>\n India has asked Pakistan to cut its diplomatic staff strength in New Delhi from 55 to just 30, reducing its operational presence to a minimal level.<\/p>\n These bold steps reflect India\u2019s hardened stance following one of the deadliest attacks on civilians in recent memory, and send a strong message that cross-border terrorism will not be tolerated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In a strong response to the brutal terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam, which claimed 26 civilian lives, India on Wednesday unveiled a set of major diplomatic and strategic countermeasures aimed at Pakistan.
