  "account": "Indian authorities dismantled unauthorized structures outside the Pakistan High Commission using a bulldozer, according to a video shared by ANI. The demolition, described as a strong counter-action by Indian authorities, came after Pakistan removed barriers outside the Indian High Commission in Islamabad. The action took place outside the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi, with traffic bollards, barricades, and other unauthorized structures being pulled down. The facade around service windows appeared damaged, with broken plaster and masonry. The main entrance and white walls of the compound remained intact, along with the service windows marked \"Window 1\", \"Pakistani Passport Only\", and \"Window-5 / Collection of Visa Applications\". The demolition coincided with heightened diplomatic tensions and was perceived as a direct response to Pakistan's recent actions regarding security measures outside the Indian High Commission.",
  "summary": "Visuals from the site showed a trail of rubble outside the mission, with broken metal railings and gates, twisted metal frames, roofing sheets, bricks and chunks of concrete and plaster strewn across the paved area.",
