Indian Authorities Remove Unauthorised Structures Outside Pakistan High Commission
Authorities said the structures exceeded the mission’s approved boundary, and the demolition left rubble and damage near the visa section.
- On Thursday, Indian authorities demolished unauthorized structures outside the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi after finding them beyond the mission's approved boundary, official sources told PTI.
- The move serves as an immediate counter to Pakistan's decision three days earlier to dismantle security barricades stationed outside the Indian High Commission in Islamabad.
- Agencies used a JCB machine to clear the area, leaving rubble near the visa section where signs for "Window 1," "Pakistani Passport Only," and "Window-5 / Collection of Visa Applications" remained visible.
- Diplomatic tensions flared following United States Ambassador Sergio Gor's remarks on Wednesday in Srinagar, where he described Jammu and Kashmir as an "incredibly beautiful place" and part of India.
- These physical security arrangements demonstrate how diplomatic missions function as a calibrated signaling mechanism between India and Pakistan, reflecting heightened tensions over competing territorial claims.
