New Delhi (Rajeev Sharma): The security arrangement outside the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi has undergone a visible change, with Indian authorities taking down the outer cordon around the diplomatic premises.
Traffic bollards and barricades that had been positioned around the high commission have been removed as part of the revised arrangement. The change affects the external layer of security surrounding the diplomatic facility.
The Pakistan High Commission is situated in Chanakyapuri, New Delhi’s diplomatic zone, where several foreign missions operate under security arrangements maintained by Indian authorities.
The latest move does not mean that security has been withdrawn from the premises. The diplomatic mission continues to remain under the required security framework, while the removal of the outer barriers represents a change in how the surrounding area is being managed.
The development is notable given the sensitive nature of India-Pakistan diplomatic relations. Any alteration in security arrangements around diplomatic missions can carry significance, particularly amid periods of heightened political and diplomatic attention.
Authorities have not indicated that the revised deployment affects the protection provided to the high commission or its diplomatic personnel. Further details regarding the reason behind the change were not immediately available.
