Indian Authorities Remove Security Cordon Around Pakistan High Commission in Delhi Indian authorities dismantled unauthorized security structures and queue-management barriers surrounding the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi on Thursday, according to news agency PTI. The removal included traffic bollards, barricades, and queue liners installed near the visa section of the Pakistani diplomatic mission. These structures were located on a lane outside the compound’s approved boundary, with visuals showing a trail of rubble and debris following the demolition. Broken metal railings, gates, twisted metal frames, roofing sheets, bricks, and chunks of concrete and plaster were scattered across the paved area. Sections of the outer structures, including corrugated roofing and white metal fencing, were completely demolished. The visa section remained visible amid the debris, with service windows marked "Window 1," "Pakistani Passport Only," and "Window-5 / Collection of Visa Applications." The area around the counters showed signs of damage, with portions of plaster and masonry broken away, and broken fencing and construction materials lying scattered. The decision to remove the barriers followed Pakistan’s earlier action of dismantling security barricades and parking poles outside the Indian High Commission in Islamabad. The changes mark a shift in the security posture between the two neighboring nations, though the exact motivations behind the move remain unclear. Officials have not provided detailed explanations for the removal, but the development has drawn attention amid ongoing diplomatic tensions. The demolition of the structures, which had been in place for an unspecified period, highlights the evolving dynamics of security protocols at diplomatic missions in the region.#new_delhi #indian_authorities #pakistan_high_commission #pakistan_indian_relations #visa_section
