In a development related to the terror attack, officials in the Union government said the Centre had blocked 16 Pakistani YouTube channels for allegedly disseminating “false, provocative and communally sensitive content” about India and also strongly objected to the BBC’s reportage on the Pahalgam attack.

On April 22, terrorists in Pahalgam gunned down 26 tourists and injured several others, which led to increasing tensions between India and Pakistan.

An official said around 272 Pakistani nationals left India on Friday and Saturday through the Attari-Wagah border point, and a few hundred more exited on Sunday.
