Wagah (Pakistan) April 29, 2025 (ANI): Rising tensions between Pakistan and India have forced farmers living near the Wagah border to delay wheat harvesting, leading to significant financial losses, local cultivators said on April 28. Due to heightened military activity and security restrictions, farmers in Pakistan have been barred from accessing their fields, leaving crops unharvested. The restrictions, imposed for safety reasons, have left farmers worried about the fate of their crops. farmer’s said many villagers had taken time off from their jobs to help with harvesting, but the delays were now wasting their holidays.The border region has a history of disruptions due to military escalations, with farmers often bearing the brunt of the impact, according to local residents. A deadly militant attack on tourists in India's Kashmir last week has caused tensions to rise once again between the two nuclear-armed nations. The attack killed 26 people and triggered outrage in Hindu-majority India, along with calls for action against Muslim-majority Pakistan. India accuses Pakistan of backing militancy in Kashmir, a region both claim and have fought two wars over.
