Amid rising tensions after the Pahalgam attack, India has begun evacuating villages near the Pakistan border, intensifying its war-like posture without furnishing evidence against Pakistan, security sources confirmed on Wednesday. Key sectors such as Samba, Kathua, and Akhnoor have seen the relocation of residents, raising fears of further escalation.
Announcements urging rapid crop harvesting and evacuation were reportedly made through loudspeakers from a gurdwara in the Attari sector, signaling the seriousness of the preparations along the frontier. Analysts have described the Pahalgam attack as a possible false flag operation aimed at justifying these aggressive moves.

Simultaneously, Indian authorities have blocked access to hundreds of Pakistani TV channels, a step seen as an attempt to control the narrative and curb dissenting viewpoints during the crisis.
Defense experts argue that this heightened rhetoric and aggressive stance reflect internal political motives, warning that such tactics risk regional stability in favor of Hindutva-driven nationalism.
