"There is no blackout yet. Armed forces officials have confirmed that there is nothing to worry about. They are regularly monitoring the situation as usual.”
Significantly, a few hours after the talk between the DGMOs of India and Pakistan today, some suspected drones were also seen near the Samba sector of Jammu and Kashmir sent by Pakistan.
