The security perimeter that had surrounded the Pakistani High Commission in Delhi was taken down, with authorities yet to issue an official statement on the move.
Delhi police and security agencies have dismantled the cordon that was encircling the Pakistani High Commission in the capital. The removal was observed by on‑site staff and local residents early on Wednesday, marking a visible change in the diplomatic precinct's security posture.
The High Commission, which represents Pakistan's diplomatic interests in India, had been under a heightened security ring following a series of regional tensions. No details have been released about the reasons for the adjustment, and officials from the Ministry of External Affairs have not yet commented.
Sources familiar with the matter indicated that the decision may be linked to routine security assessments, but emphasized that no official confirmation is available. The situation remains under close watch, and any further developments are expected to be communicated through an official statement.
The removal of the cordon has drawn attention from both diplomatic circles and the public, reflecting the sensitive nature of India‑Pakistan relations. Authorities are expected to provide clarity in the coming hours.
