During the early hours of Sunday, the Delhi Airport issued another advisory stating that while operations at the airport remain smooth, travelers may experience delays due to the implementation of stricter protocols.
Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri on Saturday informed that Pakistan’s Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) contacted his Indian counterpart earlier and both agreed to halt all military actions on land, sea, and air.
Earlier, the Indian Armed Forces had launched ‘Operation Sindoor’, hitting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK); altogether, nine sites were targeted.
In a statement, the Ministry of Defence said, “Our actions have been focused, measured and non-escalatory in nature. No Pakistani military facilities have been targeted. India has demonstrated considerable restraint in selection of targets and method of execution.”
These steps came after the gruesome Pahalgam terrorist attack in which 25 Indians and one Nepali citizen were killed.
