India Dismantles Pakistan High Commission Perimeter in Diplomatic Tit-for-Tat
Indian authorities demolished security barricades and external structures outside the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi, citing a breach of boundary regulations. The move was a direct reciprocal response to Pakistan’s recent removal of security bollards and parking poles outside the Indian High Commission in Islamabad. Diplomatic relations remain at a historic low following the April 2025 Pahalgam terror attack and India's subsequent military operation, Operation Sindoor. Formal engagement and bilateral trade between the two nations remain frozen.
