Terrorist attack PAHALGAM: India responded to a terrorist attack in Pahalgam Jammu and Kashmir by announcing that he had closed the integrated control post (ICP) in Attari, Amritsar along the Indian-Pakistan border with immediate effect and suspended Indus until his support was not affected.
At least 26 people, mostly tourists, were killed on April 22 in a terrorist attack on the picturesque meadow of Baisaran in Pahalgam in the Anantnag district.
The decision to reduce diplomatic ties with Pakistan with regard to cross -border links to the terrorist attack of Pahalgam was accepted at the Cabinet for Safety (CCS), which took place on April 23 in the residence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Where is the boundary of Attari- Wagah?
Attari and Wagah relate to the same international border between India and Pakistan. Attari is the name of the Indian village on the border, while Wagah is the name of the Pakistani village on the border.
Attari is located on 28 kilometers from Amritsar and is the first Indian ground port and the only land route for trade in Pakistan. The check contribution spread over 120 hectares and directly connected to the National Highway-I, played a key role in cross-border trade, especially in imports from Afghanistan.
“Those who have exceeded valid confirmations can return in this way to 1 May 2025,” Foreign Minister Vikram Misri said on April 23, explaining that the route will remain open for a limited period of time.
How important is the Attari boundary?
The Attari check contribution is a critical business leadership between India and Pakistan, which has manipulated various goods. Exports to Pakistan such as soybean, chicken feed, vegetables, red chili, plastic dana and plastic yarn, travel in this way.
Imports from Pakistan include dry fruit, dry data, gypsum, cement, glass, rock salt and various herbs. The corridor continued to make the exchange of goods and people, despite the continuing tension and decline in trade in volumes since 2018.
What is the trade between India and Pakistan?
Attari-Wagah corridor has seen a fluctuating trade and passenger movement in the last few years. For example, in the years 2023-24 recorded the land port of the store worth £3 886.53 Crore with 6,871 load movements and 71,563 passengers transitions, according to a report in Times of India.
The closure of the land port of Attari will have significant economic consequences on the movement of goods and passengers. According to reports, little traders and manufacturers who rely on this cross -border exchange will be most influenced.
Afghan imports to India and vice versa, many of which pass through Pakistan across the Attari-Wagah route, can also face logistics challenges.
