In the aftermath of the Pahalgam attack, tensions are rising higher between India and Pakistan. The Indian Government on 3rd May imposed an immediate ban on the import of all goods—direct and indirect—from Pakistan. The move, announced via a Ministry of Commerce notification, is part of India's wider counter-response to the recent terror attack in Pahalgam that left 26 civilians dead. The DGFT cited “national security and public policy” as the basis for the decision. The trade ban follows a series of strong diplomatic steps taken by India, including suspending the Indus Water Treaty and closing the Attari border.

Days after the horrific terror attack in Pahalgam, a survivor from Navi Mumbai - Subodh Patil, recounted the chilling moments that unfolded during the tragedy. He said "... We heard some noise from behind us, but could not recognise it. Then we heard continuous sounds and saw people running. We got scared, so we also started running. We saw a few people sitting together ahead of us, so we also sat down there. A terrorist came and said, "Who all are Hindus among you? Stand up!' Then he started firing... I got shot and fell unconscious. I woke up after many hours and found myself surrounded by dead bodies. The local who brought me up there (Baisaran meadow) recognised me. He gave me water and brought me to the exit on his back. From there, he took me downhill on a bike. The army personnel bandaged me and took me to the hospital. From there, I was taken to the army hospital in a helicopter. I was admitted there for seven days."
