Barmer (Rajasthan) [India], May 11 (ANI): The streets of Barmer were bustling with life on Sunday as the district administration lifted restrictions on all types of public activities in the area. According to district officials, shops and markets will open at their regular times, and public activities will resume as usual.
Importantly, no drone attacks or shelling were reported in the region last night. Earlier, on Saturday night, a complete blackout was imposed in the area after Pakistan violated the ceasefire along the International Border and the Line of Control.
India stated on Saturday that Pakistan violated the understanding reached between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of the two countries earlier in the day, which called for the stoppage of firing and military action. The Indian Army is reportedly retaliating and addressing the border intrusions.
At a special briefing, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri called the incident a breach of the understanding reached earlier on Saturday and emphasized that India takes “very serious note of these violations.” India urged Pakistan to take appropriate steps to address these violations and to handle the situation with seriousness and responsibility.
“For the last few hours, there have been repeated violations of the understanding arrived at earlier this evening between the Directors General of Military Operations of India and Pakistan. This is a breach of the understanding arrived at earlier today. The armed forces are giving an adequate and appropriate response to these violations, and we take very, very serious note of these violations,” Misri said.
Hours after agreeing to cease all firing and military action on land, in the air, and at sea, Pakistan violated the cessation of hostilities. India’s air defense intercepted Pakistani drones amid a blackout in Srinagar (Jammu and Kashmir). Subsequently, a complete blackout was enforced in Pathankot and Ferozepur in Punjab, as well as in Barmer and Jaisalmer in Rajasthan. (ANI)
