**New Delhi, May 4, 2025** – Following the deadly Pahalgam terror attack on April 22nd, which claimed 26 civilian lives, India is facing escalating tensions with Pakistan. Today, Air Chief Marshal A.P. Singh met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi to discuss the increasingly volatile security situation. This follows a meeting yesterday between PM Modi and Navy Chief Admiral Dinesh K. Tripathi regarding the Arabian Sea. While details of the meetings remain undisclosed, the discussions are understood to center on India’s response to the attack and the overall security posture.

Last week, PM Modi granted the armed forces complete operational freedom to respond to the Pahalgam attack. India has already implemented a series of punitive measures against Pakistan, including suspending the Indus Waters Treaty, closing the Attari border crossing, downgrading diplomatic ties, and imposing a complete ban on Pakistani imports. Pakistan has retaliated by closing its airspace to Indian airlines and halting all trade. Further, India has suspended postal services with Pakistan and banned Pakistani ships from its ports. The situation remains highly tense, with both nations engaged in a significant escalation of conflict.
