Mon Apr 28 01:30:55 UTC 2025: ## India Expels Most Pakistani Nationals Following Pahalgam Terror Attack
**Amritsar, India –** Amid escalating tensions between India and Pakistan following the deadly Pahalgam terror attack, the vast majority of Pakistani nationals on short-term visas have left India by the Sunday, April 27th, 2025 deadline, according to a senior Home Ministry official. Exceptions were made for those holding medical, diplomatic, or long-term visas. While almost all have complied, further verification is underway.
The expulsion followed the April Pahalgam attack, which claimed 26 lives. Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has called for international involvement in investigating the incident, suggesting the participation of Russia, China, or Western countries to determine the truth.
Meanwhile, the situation remains volatile along the Line of Control (LoC), with continued small arms fire exchanges between Indian and Pakistani armies for a third consecutive day. This has forced residents in border areas of Jammu, Rajouri, and Poonch districts to evacuate underground bunkers.
In Kashmir, the demolition of ten buildings belonging to terrorists, carried out by security forces using controlled blasts, has sparked opposition from several regional parties. Despite calls for an international investigation, Indian authorities have not yet commented on Pakistan’s request. No extension to the visa deadline has been announced, though exemptions may be considered on compassionate grounds.
