Escalated India-Pakistan Conflict: Amritsar Under High Alert Due to Ceasefire Breach
UPDATE: Amritsar Red Alert Lifted, Residents Encouraged to Stay Alert
By Vaibhav Verma
At 07:06 AM IST on May 11, 2025, the red alert in Amritsar has been lifted, allowing citizens to resume their normal activities. The District Collector urged the residents to be cautious and remain vigilant, following the recent escalation in tensions between India and Pakistan.
Residents were initially advised to keep their lights off, stay away from windows, roads, balconies, or terraces due to the ongoing tensions. Warnings were issued earlier at 4:39 am as a preventive measure, ensuring the safety and security of the city.
Tensions between India and Pakistan have risen following a ceasefire violation, with Pakistan faulted for breaching the understanding reached between Directors General of Military Operations. Violations along the International Border and the Line of Control have resulted in military action, drone activity, and witnessed explosions in regions like Jammu and Srinagar.
The Indian government has strongly condemned the repeated violations of the ceasefire agreement, stressing the importance of addressing the issue and dealing with it in a responsible manner. "The armed forces are maintaining a firm vigil on the situation, and they've been instructed to deal swiftly with any repetition of the border violations," India's Foreign Secretary, Vikram Misri, confirmed.
