Just hours after India and Pakistan reportedly reached an agreement to de-escalate mounting tensions on Saturday, multiple ceasefire violations were reported from several regions, plunging the situation back into uncertainty.
Residents in Jammu and Srinagar reported hearing loud blasts late Saturday evening, while visuals of unidentified projectiles seen in the skies further fueled panic. In response, authorities enforced widespread blackouts across sensitive border regions, including parts of Punjab, Haryana, and Jammu & Kashmir.
Amid renewed hostilities and growing concerns about civilian safety, officials have emphasized the importance of staying informed through Emergency Alerts. Citizens are urged to ensure that emergency notifications are enabled on their smartphones to receive real-time government advisories.
Guidelines for activating these alerts on both Android and iPhone devices are now being widely shared by emergency services and local authorities.
