As part of the countermeasures following the Pahalgam terror attack, the central government has taken a series of decisive actions against the Pakistani government. These include the suspension of the Indus Water Treaty and the closure of the integrated check post at the Attari border.
The government has cancelled any visas issued under the SAARC Visa Exemption Scheme (SVES). India declared Defence/Military, Naval and Air Advisors in the Pakistani High Commission as Persona Non Grata and ordered them to leave India within a week. India has decided to withdraw its own Defence/Navy/Air Advisors from the Indian High Commission in Islamabad. These posts in the respective High Commissions are deemed annulled. Five support staff of the Service Advisors will also be withdrawn from both High Commissions. (ANI)
