India-Pakistan Tensions Escalate: Blackouts and Military Readiness in Gujarat

Prime Minister Narendra Modi discussed Gujarat's border readiness with Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel amid heightened tensions with Pakistan. Following recent military engagements, blackouts were enforced in border districts to deter threats. Patel and officials strategized to support military operations in the state.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi reached out to Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel to discuss the state's readiness as a border region amid rising tensions with Pakistan. Gujarat, sharing both land and maritime boundaries with Pakistan, has been put on high alert.

Patel revealed that Modi inquired about the state's advance planning and military preparedness, providing guidance during their conversation, as shared on the social media platform X. The PM received updates on safety measures, particularly in border districts like Kutch and Banaskantha.

This situation follows India's neutralization of Pakistan's attempt to attack military bases with missiles and drones. In retaliation to the Pahalgam attack, India's armed forces launched a strike on terror targets in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir under Operation Sindoor. To fortify security, Patel met with department heads and military officials, implementing strategic blackouts in several towns as a preventive measure.
