Fresh Tensions at LoC: Pakistan Fires First, India Responds, after Pahalgam  Terror Attack

Pakistan Army troops opened fire at several locations along the Line of Control (LoC) on Friday, prompting an immediate response from the Indian Army, ANI reported, citing official sources. There are no reports of any casualties.

“Small arms firing at some locations on the Line of Control was initiated by the Pakistan Army. It was effectively responded to by the Indian Army. No casualties have been reported,” Indian Army officials were quoted as saying.
Further information is awaited.

The incident comes just days after a terror attack on Tuesday afternoon claimed 26 lives, sparking massive public outrage across the nation. Citizens are demanding stricter action against the perpetrators.
The attack has also led to communal tensions, particularly targeting Muslims from Kashmir residing in different parts of the country. Videos and images have emerged on social media, showing assaults on Muslims by members of Hindu extremist outfits.

In the aftermath of the attack, the Indian government announced several diplomatic measures against Pakistan on Wednesday evening, including the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty in view of the “cross border links” to the attack on April 22. The decision to out the Indus water agreement on hold was announced on Wednesday after a meeting of the Cabinet Committee of Security chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

India on Thursday, in a formal letter notified Pakistan that the decision to indefinitely suspend the Indus Waters Treaty, signed in 1960, comes into effect immediately.
A letter from the Union Ministry of Water Resources to Syed Ali Murtuza, Secretary in the Ministry of Water Resources of Pakistan, read, "The obligation to honour a treaty in good faith is fundamental to a treaty. However, what we have seen instead is sustained cross-border terrorism by Pakistan targeting the Indian Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir".

It was also stated that Pakistan has consistently disregarded India’s attempts to address certain issues that have arisen due to the "fundamental changes in circumstances since the Treaty was signed."
"These changes include significantly altered population demographics, the need to accelerate the development of clean energy and other changes in the assumptions underlying the sharing of waters under the Treaty," 

"Furthermore, apart from other breaches committed by it, Pakistan has refused to respond to India's request to enter into negotiations as envisaged under the Treaty and is thus in breach of the Treaty," the letter read.
