Following the Pahalgam terror attack, Union Jal Shakti Minister C R Paatil announced that the Indian government is working on a strategy to stop the flow of Indus waters into Pakistan. The decision comes after a high-level meeting chaired by Home Minister Amit Shah, and reflects India’s strong stance against cross-border terrorism.
Pakistan has suspended the 1972 Simla Agreement in response to India’s reaction to the deadly Pahalgam terror attack. The historic accord, signed after the 1971 India-Pakistan war, was a cornerstone of bilateral peace efforts. It established the Line of Control and committed both nations to resolving disputes through peaceful, bilateral dialogue. The suspension marks a significant escalation in regional tensions.
Following the deadly April 22 terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam that killed 26 people, Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar ignited controversy by referring to the attackers as “freedom fighters.” India responded by suspending the Indus Waters Treaty and cancelling all Pakistani visas. Islamabad has termed India’s move as an “act of war,” warning of severe retaliation.
India Unleashes 7 Key Measures Against Pakistan Post Pahalgam Attack
In response to the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam that killed 26 people, India has taken seven significant retaliatory actions against Pakistan. These include suspending the Indus Waters Treaty, expelling Pakistani diplomats, halting visa services, closing the Attari border check post, and revoking SAARC visa privileges. Prime Minister Modi vowed to track and punish every terrorist and their supporters, declaring India’s intent to pursue justice to the “ends of the earth.”
In the wake of a devastating terror attack in Pahalgam that killed 28 tourists and injured several others, the Jammu and Kashmir government has announced ex-gratia payments—₹10 lakh for the families of the deceased, ₹2 lakh for the seriously injured, and ₹1 lakh for those with minor injuries. The attack took place in Baisaran, a tourist hotspot in Anantnag district, where militants opened fire on civilians. Security has since been heightened, and search operations are ongoing to apprehend the perpetrators.
