Delhi: Security arrangements around the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi have been modified, with Indian authorities removing the outer security layer surrounding the diplomatic mission.
The changes include the removal of traffic bollards and barricades that had been placed around the diplomatic premises. The revised arrangement alters the previous security setup outside the high commission.
The Pakistan High Commission is located in the Chanakyapuri diplomatic enclave, an area that houses several foreign missions and is subject to security measures by Indian authorities.
The removal of the outer cordon marks a visible change in the security deployment around the Pakistani diplomatic premises. However, the move does not indicate that security arrangements at the mission have been withdrawn altogether.
Officials responsible for security continue to monitor the area and maintain necessary measures around the diplomatic facility.
The development comes amid ongoing diplomatic sensitivities between India and Pakistan, making changes in security arrangements around the two countries’ diplomatic missions particularly significant.
