Hundreds of Pakistani nationals are exiting India via Attari-Wagah after India, citing the Pahalgam terror attack, suspended visa services. Those with specific visa categories were ordered to leave by April 27 or face action under the new Immigration and Foreigners Act, 2025. Heart-wrenching scenes unfolded as families, especially children, were separated from mothers holding Indian passports. Sarita Kanwer and 11-year-old Zainab shared emotional farewells. Many lamented rushed departures and disrupted family visits. As tensions mount, about 272 Pakistani nationals have returned home, alongside 629 Indians, including diplomats. Innocent civilians, visiting for medical and familial reasons, now bear the brunt of political fallout. (PC: India Today & Reuters)
