Pahalgam Attack Fallout: Visa Revocations Lead to Mass Exits

In the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack, India has taken decisive diplomatic measures by revoking most visas issued to Pakistani nationals. This move has led to the departure of 509 Pakistani citizens via the Attari check post between April 25 and 27, while 744 Indian nationals returned from Pakistan through Wagah. The visa revocations, excluding diplomatic and medical visas, were part of India’s response to the attack, which claimed 26 lives and pointed to the involvement of Pakistan-backed terrorists. The government set strict deadlines for various visa categories, ensuring compliance under the Immigration and Foreigners Act. This development underscores the escalating tensions between the two nations and raises questions about the future of bilateral relations. Explore the implications of this diplomatic action and its impact on regional stability.
