Overview

• Demolition of the damaged Markaz Taiba structures was completed by September 7, and debris clearance is underway to prepare the site for new construction.
• Indian intelligence reports say Islamabad has disbursed an initial PKR 4 crore toward the rebuild, while LeT estimates the full restoration will cost more than PKR 15 crore.
• Fundraising drives branded for flood relief are reported to be channeling money into reconstruction, echoing documented diversion after Pakistan’s 2005 earthquake.
• Senior LeT figures Maulana Abu Zar and Yunus Shah Bukhari are overseeing the project, with a stated deadline tied to February 5, 2026.
• After the May 7 Operation Sindoor strikes destroyed three core buildings, LeT shifted training and accommodation first to Markaz Aqsa in Bahawalpur and later to Markaz Yarmouk in Patoki to sustain operations.
