Pak Shuts Ports for Indian Ships, India Stops Water Flow
Mint Chennai
|May 05, 2025
Pakistan banned Indian-flagged ships from entering its ports with immediate effect after New Delhi imposed fresh punitive measures against Islamabad, including a ban on the import of goods and entry of Pakistani vessels into its ports, amid heightened tensions following the 22 April Pahalgam terror attack.
India on Saturday imposed a ban on the import of goods coming from or transiting through Pakistan and also the entry of Pakistani ships into its ports as Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the country is committed to taking "firm and decisive" action against terrorists and their backers.
In retaliation, Pakistan late Saturday ordered that Indian flag carriers will not be allowed to visit any Pakistani port and also barred Pakistani ships from docking at Indian ports.
