Punjab on High Alert Following Strikes in Pakistan
Punjab's border districts are on high alert following Indian armed forces' strikes on terror targets in Pakistan and PoK.

Punjab's authorities have intensified security measures across border districts as tensions escalate following Indian military strikes in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Announced on Wednesday, these actions included canceling all public events, a decision spurred by recent attacks.
The strikes were a retaliation for a terrorist assault in Pahalgam last month that claimed 26 lives, primarily tourists. They targeted terrorist strongholds, including Jaish-e-Mohammad and Lashkar-e-Taiba bases.
Cabinet Minister Aman Arora affirmed Punjab's unfaltering support for the Indian armed forces, highlighting Punjabis' historical resolve in protecting the nation's integrity. Meanwhile, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann deferred anti-drug initiatives amid this heightened security state.
