India bans imports from Pakistan amid tension over tourist killings
- India banned imports from Pakistan and closed the Attari land-transit post on May 3, 2025, following a terror attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir.
- The ban and border closures responded to the April 22 attack that killed 26 tourists and which India alleges Pakistan backed, though Islamabad denies involvement.
- Additional measures included suspending the Indus Waters Treaty and banning Pakistani ships from Indian ports, while Pakistan took reciprocal actions including halting maritime trade.
- Bilateral trade has fallen from over $2 billion in 2019 to $1.2 billion in 2024, with Pakistani exports to India dropping from $547.5 million to $480,000, reflecting increased trade restrictions.
- These steps have intensified Indo-Pakistani tensions, disrupted traditional trade routes, and raised concerns about security and stability in Kashmir and the wider region.
