Jammu: On the night of 2-3 May, Pakistan, for the ninth consecutive night, violated the ceasefire along the LoC. The Indian army responded to the unprovoked attack “swiftly and effectively”.
This comes three days after India issued a stern warning to Pakistan over these repeated violations along the Line of Control (LoC) amid rising tensions between India and Pakistan following the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. The Director Generals of Military Operations (DGMOs) of both countries had a hotline conversation on Tuesday to address unprovoked ceasefire violations by the Pakistan Army.
India halts Indus Waters Treaty with Pakistan
India has decided to halt the Indus Waters Treaty with Pakistan. Notifying Pakistan about the decision, India has highlighted Pakistan’s “sustained cross-border terrorism targeting Jammu and Kashmir”.
Apart from this, the Central government also announced several diplomatic measures: closing the Integrated Check Post (ICP) at Attari, suspending the SAARC Visa Exemption Scheme (SVES) for Pakistani nationals, giving them 40 hours to return to their country, and reducing the number of officers in the high commissions on both sides.
