Breaking: India-Pakistan Tensions escalate, Delhi Government Braces for Emergency
Government of Delhi revokes leaves for employees during heightened India-Pakistan tensions
Things are heating up between India and Pakistan, fuelled by recent incidents in the disputed region of Kashmir. Tensions hit an all-time high in years as a suspected drone attack from Pakistan was thwarted, leading to enforcement blackouts, air raid sirens, and even the suspension of an IPL match in Dharamshala.
In response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, India launched military strikes under 'Operation Sindoor', targeting terror infrastructures in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). Pakistan has retaliated by downing Indian aircraft on May 7, 2025[1].
The United Nations Security Council convened for emergency closed consultations on May 5, 2025, to discuss the escalating tensions, with Pakistan raising concerns under the agenda item "The India-Pakistan question."
As the situation worsens, Delhi government is taking no chances. A late-evening order issued by the Services Department imposes a leave ban on all government officials till further notice[2]. Meanwhile, district magistrates in the capital are holding urgent meetings with their subordinates to review crisis management and health preparedness[3].
While schools in Punjab and Panchkula have closed for three days, no similar order has been issued for Gurugram yet[2]. Given the tense environment, it's crucial to stay informed and prepare for any eventualities. Let's keep a close eye on this developing situation.
