Tensions between India and Pakistan have escalated after Islamabad blocked water, gas, and newspaper supplies to Indian High Commission staff. Government sources told CNN-News18 the move, allegedly orchestrated by Pakistan’s ISI, is “deliberate” and breaches the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. The restrictions follow India’s successful Operation Sindoor and strict enforcement of the Indus Water Treaty. Gas pipelines have been installed but left inactive, vendors banned from supplying fuel, mineral water, or newspapers. Officials see the action as “petty retaliation” aimed at disrupting diplomats’ lives and isolating them from local developments, further straining already fragile India–Pakistan relations.
