After Pakistan’s large-scale violation of the ‘ceasefire’ that came into effect between India and Pakistan at 5 pm on Saturday after the intervention of the US, the atmosphere has become tense again, due to which ‘blackout’ orders have been re-issued in at least 9 districts of Punjab. Pakistani drones have also been seen in Jammu and Kashmir, which has been confirmed by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah himself. Apart from this, a blackout has also been announced in Ambala, Haryana.
It is worth mentioning that after US President Donald Trump’s tweet regarding the ceasefire between the two countries and the confirmation of the ceasefire by both the countries, people breathed a sigh of relief and blackout orders were withdrawn in various districts of Punjab, but as soon as night fell, drones started being seen in various places after around 8.30 pm, after which people became worried and the administration became alert.

In a statement issued by Jalandhar Deputy Commissioner Dr. Himanshu Agarwal, it has been said that as a precaution, street lights have been switched off in the city and no blackout has been declared. He has said that a necessary announcement will be made if any message about danger is received from the army.
