Operation Sindoor, Wagah-Attari shut: How 150 Pakistani-Sindhi brides reached India amid strained ties
The tensions between India and Pakistan following Operation Sindoor had reportedly put the weddings of at least 150 Pakistani women on hold.
Last year, Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) headquarters in Bahawalpur, Pakistan was targeted during Operation Sindoor, but the base has now been completely rebuilt, according to a report citing visuals from the site. The complex, located in Punjab province, was restored with new marble, fresh paint, and plaster. The Indian Air Force struck JeM's headquarters on May 7, 2025, in retaliation for a Pahalgam terror attack in April 2024.
The JeM's Madrasa Al-Sabir and residential quarters for commanders were among the damaged buildings. According to intelligence inputs, PKR 25 crore was given in cash instalments for the restoration, with PKR 11 crore spent specifically on rebuilding the central hall. The latest visuals show a significant speed in reconstruction compared to earlier footage, with the damaged structures refurbished, debris cleared, and the complex appearing functional once more.
