India’s response to the Pahalgam terror attack has been swift and layered. Following the brutal killing of 26 civilians on April 22 at Baisaran meadow by Pakistan-backed militants, the government launched Operation Sindoor, the precision strikes deep inside Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, targeting terror infrastructure.This operation followed a calibrated diplomatic offensive of shutting down the Attari-Wagah check post, cancelling all visa categories for Pakistani nationals, and suspending the Indus Waters Treaty.
