Pakistani tourists rush to leave through Wagah

Following the horrific terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam area, which resulted in the loss of 26 lives, the Indian government has quickly implemented measures to restrict cross-border activities with Pakistan. As a result, on Friday, many Pakistani tourists were seen leaving through the Attari-Wagah Border.

Among the strongest measures taken by the Indian government are the sealing of the Attari-Wagah Border and the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty.

At the Integrated Check Post (ICP) in Attari, Border Security Force (BSF) personnel are conducting rigorous checks of the passports of Pakistani nationals travelling by vehicles. Only after thorough verification are vehicles being allowed to proceed past security barricades.

After the sudden developments, at the Attari-Wagah Border, the stream of Pakistani tourists was observed seeking urgent clarity and assistance.
