Jammu: Several Pakistani posts along the International Border have been left vacant following Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s directive giving Indian forces a free hand. In a notable sign of retreat, Pakistani Rangers have removed their national flags from multiple forward positions reports Republic TV

These sudden withdrawals have drawn attention amid rising tensions between the two nations. The abandoned posts are seen as a defensive move, possibly to avoid direct confrontation with Indian forces, who have been maintaining a heightened state of readiness.
In addition, Pakistan has deployed fresh troops in the Sialkot sector, indicating a shift in its tactical positioning. This increased military presence suggests preparations for potential engagement or a calculated show of strength in response to India’s assertive posture.
With forward positions left unmanned and new deployments underway, the situation along the border remains tense and fluid. The Indian side continues to monitor developments closely. (Jammu Observer)
