New Delhi has stepped up retaliatory measures after a major terrorist attack in Kashmir left 26 people dead
India has revoked the visas of all Pakistanis in the country and has ordered them to leave by April 27.
The Indian Foreign Ministry stated on Thursday that the move includes Pakistanis currently in India for medical treatment. Medical visas will only be valid until April 29, 2025. All Pakistani individuals in India are required to leave the country before their amended visa expiry dates.
“Indian nationals are strongly advised to avoid travelling to Pakistan. Those Indian nationals currently in Pakistan are also advised to return to India at the earliest,” the ministry said.
The move comes a day after the Cabinet Committee on Security – chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi – decided on a set of retaliatory measures, including the expulsion of a dozen Pakistani diplomats, the closure of the Wagah-Attari border between the two nations, and a halt to the 1960 Indus Water Treaty on the use of the waters of the Indus River system by the two nations.
