List Of 11 Major Bans India Imposed On Pakistan After Operation Sindoor Conflict- Here’s What Stopped

Major Bans By India On Pakistan:  Following the Pahalgam terror attack, India-Pakistan tensions have escalated to a new level and the start of India's strong counter-operation, Operation Sindoor. India has taken strong action on several fronts in response to Pakistan's alleged support for terrorism and cross-border infiltration. The Indian government announced some bans on Pakistan, which have an impact on travel, media, trade, diplomacy and other areas, which have been among the most significant actions. These bans are meant to send a clear message against Pakistan's anti-Indian activities and to isolate the country internationally.

India has not only banned all imports from Pakistan but also suspended the Indus Water Treaty and shut down the Attari-Wagah border. From banning Pakistani TV channels to removing their products from e-commerce sites like Amazon, India has made its stand clear. The country has also reduced diplomatic ties and blocked air and shipping routes. These strong measures reflect India’s zero-tolerance policy towards terrorism and its efforts to protect national security. 

List Of Major Bans India Imposed On Pakistan After Operation Sindoor Conflicts

Here’s a list of 11 major bans India has imposed on Pakistan after Operation Sindoor and how these actions can impact Pakistan:

1. All Imports from Pakistan are Banned

India has completely stopped importing goods from Pakistan. This will hurt Pakistan’s economy, especially industries that rely on Indian buyers, such as textiles, cement, and agricultural products.

2. Suspension of the Indus Water Treaty

India has decided to halt cooperation on the Indus Water Treaty. This could reduce Pakistan’s water supply from rivers controlled by India, creating serious issues for its agriculture and daily water needs.

3. No Pakistani Ships Allowed in Indian Ports

Pakistani cargo ships are no longer allowed to dock at Indian ports. This cuts a key trade route and makes exports and imports more expensive for Pakistan.

4. Airspace Stopped

India has denied its airspace to Pakistani aircraft. This forces Pakistan to take longer, costlier flight routes, especially affecting travel and trade.

5. Reduction of Diplomatic Personnel

India has reduced the number of Pakistani diplomats in its embassy. This weakens diplomatic communication and shows a serious downgrade in relations.

6. No Participation in Sports Leagues & YouTube Bans

Pakistanis are banned from Indian sports leagues like the IPL, and many Pakistani YouTube channels are blocked. This limits cultural exchange and affects revenue for Pakistani creators and athletes.

7. Media and Drama Channel Bans

Pakistani news and entertainment channels are no longer allowed in India. This cuts their reach and limits their voice in Indian media.

8. Celebrity Accounts Banned

Several Pakistani celebrities' social media accounts have been suspended in India, who were so popular in India, like Hania Amir, Mahira Khan, Fawad Khan, Sajal Aly, Mawra Hocane, Atif Aslam and many others. This affects their digital influence and earnings from Indian fans.

9. Mail Services & Twitter Accounts Suspended

All mail services from Pakistan have been halted, and 8000 Twitter accounts linked to anti-India content from Pakistan have been suspended. This hits communication and reduces the spread of propaganda.

10. Closure of Attari-Wagah Border
