The Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, which claimed 26 lives, drew swift and widespread condemnation from global leaders, who expressed solidarity with India and denounced terrorism.

Following the Pahalgam terror attack, India imposed sweeping measures against Pakistan, including suspending mail, trade, and diplomatic ties, while also facing cyberattacks from Pakistani hackers

A notification issued by the Ministry of Commerce on Friday (2 May) stated that “direct or indirect import or transit of all goods originating in or exported from Pakistan, whether or not freely importable or otherwise permitted, shall be prohibited with immediate effect, until further orders.”
