Similarly, Union Food Minister Pralhad Joshi has advised citizens to ignore rumours about the necessity to stockpile essential goods. He assured that the country possesses ample supplies of all necessary items. In a message on X, Joshi highlighted that misinformation is causing panic buying in some regions. He emphasised, "We have more than enough stock of everything required across the country."
Amid rising tensions between India and Pakistan, several states have taken precautionary measures. These include closing schools, enforcing blackouts in border districts, and cancelling leave for police and administrative personnel.
Meanwhile, India on Thursday reported thwarting attempts by Pakistan's military to target military installations in 15 cities across northern and western regions. The attacks involved missiles and drones, heightening fears of a broader conflict between the neighbouring countries.
