In response to the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, India’s government announced a series of retaliatory measures, including the shutdown of the Attari land-transit post. This decision, coupled with the expulsion of Pakistani military attaches and the suspension of the Indus Water Treaty, has received strong backing from Amritsar’s business and trade community. Local traders, including those in the dry fruit sector, have voiced unwavering support for the government’s actions, emphasizing national security over cross-border trade.
