India-Pakistan Diplomatic Spat: Gas, Water Cut For Indian Diplomats In Islamabad Amid Retaliation
In the wake of India's "Operation Sindoor," a retaliatory cross-border military operation against terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, sources have revealed that Pakistan has stepped up efforts to harass Indian diplomats and officials in Islamabad, including reportedly disconnecting basic utility supplies and suspendingnewspaper delivery. "Operation Sindoor," initiated in retaliation for the Pahalgam attack, involved nine terrorist hideouts of the Indian Army being bombed, killing more than 100 terrorists according to reports. Subsequent to this operation, India accused Pakistani authorities of a series of moves by Pakistani authorities that contravene the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. Sources say that the distribution of newspapers to the Indian High Commission in Islamabad and Indian diplomats' homes has been suspended. In retort, India has suspended the supply of newspapers to Pakistani diplomats in New Delhi as well. In addition, there have been reports of alleged surveillance and unauthorised access to Indian diplomats' homes and offices in Islamabad, actions which are a direct violation of international diplomatic norms guaranteeing security and respect for the person of diplomatic staff. These actions are interpreted by Indian authorities as an attempt at intimidating diplomatic personnel. Indian diplomats are also said to be suffering great hardship in getting access to even basic amenities like gas and water. Local shopkeepers, who had earlier supplied packaged drinking water and gas cylinders to the Indian High Commission, are now afraid or refusing supplies outright, allegedly on orders from Pakistani officials. A source in Islamabad informed Aaj Tak that although Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) has a pipeline attached to the Indian High Commission building, gas supply through it has been cut off deliberately. The Indian diplomats and their family members are compelled to buy high-cost gas cylinders from the open market, normally with procurement problems, despite having to pay more. Indian officials have termed the newspaper delivery ban as a "deliberate conspiracy by Pakistan's intelligence agency, Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), to keep Indian diplomats isolated from normal access to print media, restrict their awareness of local developments, and render their living and working conditions in Islamabad unpleasant." Sources also pointed to a precedent for this behavior, remembering the same kind of harassment Indian diplomats had encountered in Islamabad in 2019 after the Indian Army's surgical strikes in retaliation for the Pulwama terrorist attack.

Post 'Op Sindoor' success, porter recruitment drive elicits good response in J&K
After the success of 'Operation Sindoor', the porter recruitment drive organised by the Indian Army in Jammu and Kashmir's (J&K) Mendhar sector has generated a wave of enthusiasm and excitement among the local youth. A large number of locals from the city and adjoining border villages including Mankot, Balnoi areas are participating in this recruitment. The idea behind recruiting porters by the Indian Army is to provide employment to unemployed youth as 'defence porters'. The youths living in Mendhar and other border areas have appreciated this initiative and are coming forward to get themselves scanned and shortlisted for this category. Asif Mahmood, speaking to IANS, said that those aspiring to become porters in the Army, including him are excited and energised for the recruitment. Mazhar Iqbal praised the porter recruitment, saying 'This is an important opportunity for the people living near the border.' He said that such recruitments, which take place two to three times a year, give unemployed youth an opportunity to earn their livelihood by joining the Army. Highlighting unemployment as the key problem of people living near the Line of Control (LoC), he said this will not only provide employment but will also help in keeping the youth away from social evils like drug addiction. He went on to entreat the Indian Army to give youth more such chances in the near future. He also praised the success of 'Operation Sindoor' and said that the whole country stands with its Army at that time. He said that the local people have expressed gratitude to the Indian Army for this initiative. A couple of other participating youths demanded an increase in the number of vacancies in future and said that such recruitments should be conducted regularly so that more and more people can get employment.

Highly irresponsible: India slams Pak Army chief Asim Munir's nuke threat
In a press conference, Dharmendra Pradhan launched a sharp attack on the opposition, particularly the Congress party and Rahul Gandhi. Pradhan stated the opposition is engaging in a 'well-thought-out strategy to create instability in the country.' He accused them of spreading lies on various issues, including EVMs and the Rafael deal, and of questioning the integrity of the Indian Army. Pradhan asserted that the opposition's criticism of the Election Commission is an attempt to undermine constitutional bodies, especially when electoral outcomes are not in their favour. He alleged that this is part of a political strategy based on creating fear and using infiltrators as a vote bank. Pradhan challenged the opposition to present evidence for their claims through proper channels, such as an affidavit, instead of creating 'anarchy'.
