WEBDESK: In a strong move, Pakistan blocks all trade routes for India in response to a recent Indian import ban after the false flag Pahalgam operation. The decision affects goods going to India through land, sea, and air routes, including those from other countries if they pass through Pakistan.
The ban was announced shortly after India halted all imports from Pakistan. India’s move came after a deadly attack in Kashmir that killed 26 tourists. While India blames Pakistan based militants for the violence, Islamabad has denied involvement.
In reaction, Pakistan blocks all trade routes for India, calling it a necessary step to show that such accusations and actions will not be ignored. According to Pakistan’s Ministry of Commerce, no India-bound goods will be allowed to pass through the country, whether by truck, ship, or plane.
However, goods that had a bill of lading or letter of credit issued before the announcement may still be allowed through. This slight relief is expected to reduce the sudden impact on some international shipments.
Officials say that Pakistan blocking all trade routes for India is a direct tit-for-tat response to India’s aggressive trade restriction. “We are protecting our sovereignty and sending a clear message,” one senior official said.
This development marks a new low in relations between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. Trade between India and Pakistan has already been limited due to past conflicts and political tensions. Now, with Pakistan blocking all trade routes for India, even the little movement of goods that existed has come to a full stop.
Analysts worry that such moves will hurt both economies and may increase instability in the region. “Trade bans affect more than governments they hit ordinary people, especially in border areas,” said a trade expert in Islamabad.
For now, there are no signs of the situation improving. If both countries do not return to dialogue soon, experts fear further disruptions in travel, business, and regional peace.
