• Prime Minister Modi, in his Mann Ki Baat address, promised the harshest response to the attack's perpetrators and highlighted the nation's unity against terrorism.
• India has revoked Pakistani visas, closed the Attari-Wagah border, and suspended the Indus Waters Treaty; Pakistan retaliated by closing its airspace to Indian carriers and suspending trade.
• Border tensions have escalated with ceasefire violations along the Line of Control and precautionary measures, such as BSF directives for farmers near the zero line to harvest crops swiftly.
• A mass exodus of Pakistani nationals from India has occurred following visa cancellations, with hundreds crossing the Attari-Wagah border before the April 27 deadline.
