by The escalating India-Pakistan conflict has led to the suspension of the IPL, disruptions in tourism, and nationwide security drills. Here’s how these developments are unfolding.
🔥Rising Tensions Between India and Pakistan
In early May 2025, the India-Pakistan conflict intensified, marking the worst tensions in nearly three decades. Both nations engaged in drone and missile strikes, as well as air battles, prompting evacuations and targeting major cities like Karachi, Lahore, and Rawalpindi in Pakistan, and areas along India’s western and northwestern borders. India launched airstrikes on alleged terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan in reaction to a deadly attack on tourists in Kashmir, while Pakistan claimed to have downed five Indian aircraft—an allegation India denies.
🏏IPL 2025 Suspended Amid Security Concerns
The escalating tensions have led to the indefinite suspension of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The decision was made by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to stand in solidarity with the nation during this period of heightened conflict. This move follows the abandonment of a match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals due to security concerns, including bomb threats.
✈️ Tourism and Travel Disruptions
The conflict has severely impacted tourism and travel. Airports in northern and western India have been closed, and major sporting events like the IPL have been suspended. International travel advisories have been issued, urging caution in the region. The situation has also affected financial markets, with indices like the Sensex and Nifty experiencing significant declines.
🛡️ Nationwide Civil Defence Mock Drill
In response to the escalating tensions, India conducted a nationwide civil defence mock drill, code-named Operation Abhyaas, on 7 May 2025. This exercise aimed to bolster civilian readiness against potential hostile threats, particularly in response to the Pahalgam attack on 22 April 2025, which resulted in the deaths of 26 civilians. The drill involved activities such as air-raid siren tests, blackout simulations, evacuation drills, and public training sessions across 244 districts in India.
📊 Impact on Economy and Public Sentiment
The ongoing conflict has placed significant strain on both nations’ economies. India is experiencing slowed growth, while Pakistan is managing a fragile recovery aided by a $7 billion IMF program. Moody’s has warned that the tensions could hinder Pakistan’s fiscal consolidation and burden India’s finances due to increased defense spending. The conflict has already disrupted air travel and halted tourism, with India suspending a water-sharing treaty, causing concern in Pakistan.
