Delhi dismantles security barriers outside Pakistan High Commission
Indian officials have taken down queue-liners, traffic bollards and other barriers that had been set up around the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi.
Authorities in New Delhi removed structures and queue-management devices that had been installed near the visa section of the Pakistani mission, according to official sources. The removals also included traffic bollards and barricades surrounding the diplomatic compound. The action follows a similar step by Pakistan, which recently cleared security installations outside the Indian High Commission in Islamabad.
