Pakistan High Commission Structures Demolished In Delhi After Boundary Violation

The action was carried out by the agencies concerned using a JCB machine, which removed structures and barricades erected along the lane outside the compound, including queue-management installations near the visa section.

Authorities dismantled the external security perimeter outside the Pakistan High Commission, removing traffic bollards and barricades that had previously ring-fenced the diplomatic compound.

The action came exactly three days after Pakistani authorities reportedly removed protective security barricades stationed outside the Indian High Commission in Islamabad.

Visuals from the Pakistan High Commission showed rubble left outside the mission following the demolition. Broken metal railings and gates, twisted metal frames and chunks of concrete were strewn across the paved area.

Sections of the outer structures were completely pulled down, including corrugated roofing and white metal fencing. The facade around the service windows appeared damaged, with portions of plaster and masonry broken away.

Broken fencing and construction material were also seen lying around the counters.

The main entrance of the Pakistan High Commission, with its white walls, domed features and large metal gates bearing the Pakistani emblem, remained intact. Barbed-wire fencing was visible along portions of the compound’s perimeter.

On Wednesday, Pakistan raised an issue with the US over the Indian ambassador’s remarks on Kashmir. During a visit to Srinagar, Sergio Gor, the US ambassador to India, had called Jammu and Kashmir “an important part of India” and also praised the security situation in the Valley.

The comments rattled Pakistan, which summoned US Charge d’Affaires Natalie Baker in Islamabad to lodge a protest.

There is no official word yet on whether the action at the Pakistan High Commission was linked to Islamabad’s reaction to Gor’s comments.
