New Delhi, May 4, 2025 — In a significant move, the Government of India has announced the suspension of all categories of inbound mail and parcels from Pakistan, effective immediately. The decision applies to both air and surface routes and marks a major escalation in administrative measures between the two neighbors.
Official sources confirmed that the suspension will halt the processing of letters, parcels, and any other postal exchanges originating from Pakistan until further notice.
While the government has not yet issued a detailed statement explaining the rationale behind the move, sources indicate it may be linked to broader national security and diplomatic concerns.
This is not the first time such postal links have been disrupted. India had previously suspended mail exchanges with Pakistan following heightened tensions in the past, often citing violations of protocols or strained bilateral relations.
The development comes at a time when diplomatic engagement between the two countries remains limited, and cross-border confidence-building measures have seen minimal progress.
Further details are awaited from the Ministry of External Affairs and the Department of Posts.
