Pakistan Closes Borders, Halts Indus Treaty

In response to heightened tensions, Pakistan has shut its airspace to Indian airlines, closed the Wagah border, and warned water redirection as an 'Act of War'.

Pakistan escalates tensions, closing airspace and borders with India over Indus Water Treaty disputes.

Pakistan on Thursday blocked its airspace for Indian airlines, closed the Wagah border crossing, suspended all trade with India, and said any attempt to divert water meant for Pakistan under the Indus Water Treaty will be considered an Act of War.
The announcements were made after a meeting chaired by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to formulate the country's response to India's move to suspend the Indus Water Treaty and downgrade diplomatic ties after the Pahalgam terror attack.
The meeting was attended by key ministers and the three services chiefs.
"Any threat to Pakistan&rsquo;s sovereignty and to the security of its people will be met with firm reciprocal measures in all domains. India should refrain from its reflexive blame game and cynical staged, managed exploitation of incidents like Pahalgam to further its narrow political agenda.
"Such tactics serve only to inflame tensions and obstruct the path to peace and stability in the region," according to a statement released after the National Security Committee (NSC) meeting.
The meeting decided to block Pakistani airspace for Indian airlines and close the Wagah border crossing.
A decision was also taken to suspend visas under the SAARC Visa Exemption Scheme to Indians, barring Sikh pilgrims.
Pakistan suspended "all trade" with India, including those routes through third countries.
Pakistan rejected the Indian decision to suspend the Indus Water Treaty, saying it is the lifeline for 240 million Pakistanis.
"Any attempt to divert or stop water meant for Pakistan under the Indus Water Treaty will be considered an act of War," the statement said.
Pakistan also asked military advisers at the Indian High Commission to leave by April 30, it said.

Under PM Modi's leadership, these terrorists will be eliminated: CM Dhami

Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami strongly condemned the Pahalgam terror attack, pledging that the Indian Army will take decisive action against terrorists. He also confirmed that officials are ensuring the safe return of stranded tourists.

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami expressed deep condolences for those who lost their lives in the recent Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir.&nbsp;
He strongly condemned the act and reaffirmed that this was a new India under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, where the Indian Army would take decisive action to eliminate the terrorists responsible.&nbsp;
Speaking at the 'Rajkiya Kranti Diwas' fair in Pithsain, CM Dhami stated, "The terrorist attack in Pahalgam cannot be condemned enough. Innocent tourists were killed after asking their religion. People of the country are sad and annoyed. I pay tribute to those who lost their lives in this incident and also want to tell those terrorists that this is not the India where you can easily escape after carrying out such an incident. This is Prime Minister Modi's India. Our army will definitely kill those terrorists."
CM Dhami also mentioned that administrative officials had been in contact with Uttarakhand tourists who had traveled to Jammu and Kashmir, ensuring that the stranded individuals would return safely on the same day. As part of his visit, CM Dhami inaugurated the newly constructed Automated Test Track in Kashipur on Wednesday.

Earlier, while speaking to ANI, CM Dhami had expressed his deepest sympathies to the bereaved families, calling the attack not only a massacre of innocent tourists but also an assault on the very soul of the nation. "Their aim is to disrupt the peace in Jammu and Kashmir, but they will never succeed," he added.
The Chief Minister condemned the targeted killings of Hindu tourists, calling the act a reflection of a "jihadist mindset." He stated that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, the Indian Army would deliver a strong and targeted response. "This is a tragic day. The way Hindu tourists were deliberately targeted in Pahalgam exposes the radical motives behind the attack. I pay my respects to the victims and pray for their souls. I am confident that every single one of the terrorists responsible will be brought to justice," he emphasized.
In addition, CM Dhami confirmed that all state officials were instructed to maintain constant contact with the affected families and ensure the safe return and support of all Uttarakhand residents currently in the region.

Uttarakhand's Government Asset Management System (UK-GAMS) receives the prestigious Prime Minister's Award for Excellence in Public Administration, revolutionizing governance with AI.

Uttarakhand's UK-GAMS wins Prime Minister's excellence award for innovation in public administration

Uttarakhand's Government Asset Management System (UK-GAMS) receives the prestigious Prime Minister's Award for Excellence in Public Administration, revolutionizing governance with AI.

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami expressed pride over the Uttarakhand Government Asset Management System (UK-GAMS) receiving the Prime Minister's Excellence Award on Wednesday, calling it a significant achievement for all Uttarakhandis.&nbsp;
In a statement, Dhami highlighted that the award recognized the transparent and accountable administration of the state government and demonstrated how technology and innovation can enhance governance and public welfare.
&ldquo;Our goal is to make this model more powerful and implement it in other areas so that Uttarakhand becomes a leading state of digital, transparent, and accountable governance. This award inspires us to work harder,&rdquo; Dhami said.
UK-GAMS, an innovative initiative launched by the Uttarakhand government, has been honored with the Prime Minister's Award for Excellence in Public Administration 2024 under the "Innovation - State category." This marks the first time Uttarakhand has received a national-level award in innovation. The project was conceived and developed under the leadership of Chief Minister Dhami, according to the statement.
The initiative addresses the challenges of land encroachment, lack of transparency, and accountability through advanced technology. UK-GAMS is an AI-based geospatial monitoring system that digitizes and geo-fences government assets, monitoring them effectively using high-quality satellite data and an in-house AI model.&nbsp;
Previously, unorganized records, paper maps, and communication gaps between departments made it difficult to detect land misuse or encroachment in time. UK-GAMS has transformed this situation by integrating various departments into a dynamic digital platform.
So far, over 66,000 government assets across all 13 districts of Uttarakhand have been digitized and added to the UK-GAMS platform. Additionally, 188 land use changes have been identified, prompting the relevant departments to take appropriate action. This has enhanced transparency, halted unauthorized constructions, and accelerated administrative action across departments.
The award is also a testament to the dedication of the Uttarakhand Space Applications Centre (USAC) team of scientists, whose contributions have been key in implementing this project. Under the leadership of Nitika Khandelwal, Director of USAC, the project was successfully conceptualized, developed, and executed. Khandelwal was also presented with a certificate of appreciation by the Secretary of the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG) for her exemplary work.
The successful implementation of UK-GAMS also involved training more than 6,600 field officers and 1,000 departmental supervisors from over 60 state departments and 47 autonomous bodies. This ground-level implementation model has been integral to the system's success.
This national recognition not only brings pride to Uttarakhand but also serves as a model for other states and sectors to follow, reinforcing the role of AI and satellite technology in securing public assets, enhancing transparency, and fostering active governance. UK-GAMS has the potential to be a benchmark for digital governance across India.

"By putting on hold the Indus Water Treaty, the Centre has made it clear that blood and water cannot flow together. This decisive decision will shatter the plans of Pakistan, which shelters and promotes terrorism. Similarly, other decisions including the closure of Attari border check post have also sent a strong message to Pakistan," he said.
