New Delhi, August 25, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
The Bahawalpur headquarters of UN-designated terrorist organisation Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), which was damaged in Indian strikes during Operation Sindoor in May 2025, has reportedly been rebuilt and refurbished, according to media reports citing intelligence inputs.
The Markaz Subhanallah complex in Bahawalpur has undergone extensive repairs, with new plaster, paint and polished marble visible in recently reported imagery. The facility’s central hall, which sustained significant damage during the strikes, has also reportedly been repaired, with craters filled and the structure refurbished for renewed use.
Reports citing intelligence inputs claim that the Pakistani establishment provided JeM with about Pakistani Rs 25 crore in cash instalments for reconstruction. Of this, approximately Rs 11 crore was reportedly allocated for rebuilding the central hall.
Other structures adjoining the main complex were also affected during Operation Sindoor. These included Madrasa Al-Sabir, described in the reports as an indoctrination centre, as well as residential quarters used by JeM commanders. The damaged structures have reportedly been cleared or demolished, with new construction subsequently undertaken at the site.
The Bahawalpur facility was among the targets struck by India during Operation Sindoor, launched in response to the April 22, 2025, Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir.
India conducted the operation on May 6 and 7, 2025, targeting nine terror facilities in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir. The operation involved the Indian Army, Air Force and Navy, with 24 missiles reportedly used in the strikes. The source material estimates that around 70 terrorists were killed.
The targeted sites included the Lashkar-e-Taiba headquarters at Muridke and key Jaish-e-Mohammed facilities in Bahawalpur, which India identified as centres linked to extremist training and indoctrination.
The Pahalgam attack had killed 26 people, including 25 tourists and a local pony ride operator who attempted to save the visitors. According to the Indian account cited in the source material, the attackers singled out victims after asking about their religion and made them recite the Islamic kalima to identify non-Muslims.
Operation Sindoor was described by India as a coordinated military response combining military and non-military measures against Pakistan-based terror infrastructure.
The reconstruction claims could not be independently verified from the source material and are based on media reports citing intelligence inputs.
