The Indo-Pak tensions have reached critical levels after the recent Pahalgam terror attack, as a wave of fear has seized the Jammu region. At night on Thursday, several places in and around Jammu had a sudden blackout, followed by the wailing of sirens and some weak explosions that made residents jump out of their beds. Locals said they heard several blasts at a distance, which some felt were part of increased security drives or perhaps even military operations.
Sirens and Military Alert Raise Alarm
Civil defense sirens were ringing out in parts of Jammu, particularly near border villages, where people scurried to seek shelter. Although the administration has not formally acknowledged the reason behind the explosions or the sirens, rumors abound that the area is placed on high alert due to reliable intelligence inputs. People in frontier districts were allegedly told to remain indoors, while night patrolling has been enhanced significantly.
Retaliatory Steps Following Pahalgam Attack
The mounting tension comes after India’s forceful reaction to the terror strike in Pahalgam, which resulted in the deaths of several security personnel. Government sources indicate that the Indian army has been put on high operational alert. Although officials have refrained from confirming any cross-border actions, Pakistan’s media reports that India is making preparations for a limited military operation as a retaliatory measure. These events have further strained diplomatic ties between the two countries.
Residents Worry About Large-Scale War
Locals in Jammu are worried about increasing hostilities and fear the worst from past incidents. Several families along the international border and the Line of Control have already started making preparations in case they had to be evacuated. Shops closed early in various areas, and internet services were temporarily cut in some pockets, adding to fears.
Center and Defense Forces Closely Monitor Situation
Senior defense officials and the Home Ministry are reported to be keeping a close eye on the situation. There has been no word from either side confirming direct military action, but India and Pakistan have exchanged sharp rhetoric over the past few days. Experts caution that the atmosphere is perilously volatile, and urge restraint and de-escalation from both sides.
As the region is still on high alert and security forces remain alert, the citizens pray for speedy resolution and normalization of peace.
