As Pakistan violated the ceasefire yet again, hours after reaching an understanding with India, blackouts have been enforced at several places in India and near the Pakistan border. Blackouts have been enforced in Jammu, Pathankot, and Moga, among other places as Pakistan violates the ceasefire. The move comes amid heightened security concerns after reports of suspicious aerial activity, including sightings of Pakistani drones near the border regions.
Authorities have activated air attack alert sirens in affected areas and instructed residents to remain indoors as the civilians get concerned yet again due to Pakistan’s latest move.
Officials have stated that the Border Security Force (BSF) has been given a free hand at the border to respond, and any retaliation will be appropriate and proportionate to the threat. The situation is being closely monitored, and further updates are expected as the security response unfolds.

1 – Moga
2 – Jammu
3 – Pathankot
4 – Hanumangarh
5 – Barmer
6 – Gurdaspur
