Following the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives, India revoked visas of Pakistani nationals and closed the Attari-Wagah border. After nearly 24 hours of silence, Pakistan reopened the border on May 2, allowing 125 Pakistanis and 15 Indians to cross. Many stranded individuals, including elderly visitors, faced uncertainty during the closure. India had expressed readiness to facilitate their return, but Islamabad's initial non-response led to confusion. The border closure was part of India's broader measures, including suspending the Indus Waters Treaty and expelling Pakistani diplomats, in response to the attack. The situation underscores heightened tensions between the two nations. (PC: Trip Advisor & Travelsetu)
