Why did govt remove barriers outside Pakistan High Commission? Delhi’s tit-for-tat response to Islamabad’s action
Authorities used heavy machinery on Wednesday to demolish structures near the Pakistan High Commission’s visa section, people familiar with the matter said.
Indian authorities recently removed barriers and unauthorized structures outside the Pakistan High Commission in response to Islamabad's earlier action. This move came two days after Pakistani authorities demolished some barricades and parking poles near the visa section of the Pakistani mission in Islamabad, on the orders of the Indian High Commission.
The Indian authorities demolished the structures using heavy machinery on Wednesday, located on a small road outside the mission's compound. The action was taken despite a formal protest from the Indian side, who claimed it was a project to widen the road. The Pakistani authorities carried out the action, contending it was part of a project to widen the road.
