A day after India launched Operation Sindoor and destroyed terror camps in Pakistan, panic seems to have further gripped the nation as the Pakistan Army has evacuated residents from the border villages of ‘Chak 95 HB’ and ‘Chak 96 HB’ near Faqirwali in the Bahawalnagar district. The area lies close to the international border adjoining Rajasthan — not far from Sri Ganganagar district.
This development comes just days after a Pakistani Ranger was caught crossing into Indian territory without authorisation. Bahawalnagar, due to its proximity to the Indo-Pak border, holds strategic significance and the sudden evacuation of villages suggests heightened military alertness in the region.
Meanwhile, Rajasthan has been put on high alert amid escalating border tensions. Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma chaired a high-level review meeting to assess the state’s preparedness and issued instructions to tighten security following Operation Sindoor.
