Hello there.
Then, this is not a happy or thrill travel and food blog. But this is real; sometimes, much reality means preparing for chances we hope never come to pass.
Being an extension of history, India and Pakistan share a long and tense history. Sometimes, the tides of tension rise so high that the term “war” starts floating around in the air.
I hope things never come to that. But, if they do, it’s wise to know how to go about it. No panic. Just calm, practical steps.
Let’s discuss this, as any two friends would do who truly care about the safety of their loved ones.
🧭 Stepwise: What to Be Done If India-Pakistan War Breaks Out
These steps are meant to protect you, your family, and your peace of mind. You might never have to use them. Time ahead of time can be a life saver with these.
1. Stay Informed, But Don’t Panic
Trustworthy newsworthiness first.
Avoid forwarding fake news on WhatsApp and watching random videos on YouTube. Trust:
- Governmental channels
- National news agencies,
- e.g. : DD News, All India Radio
Official emergency alert system
What to do:
- Download news apps with alerts (NDTV, ANI, PIB).
- Follow Twitter or WhatsApp updates from the local government.
- Have a power bank in hand or a battery-operated radio that will come to use if power goes off.
2. Set Up a Family Emergency Plan
One of the big ones, actually. Every house has to have one at least for emergencies.
Include:
- A list of emergency numbers: Family, Police, Hospitals, Fire Station
- A common meeting point should you get separated.
- A small bag filled with emergency essentials.
Emergency Kit Checklist:
- Water bottles (at least three days’ supply, depending on the number of persons)
- Non-perishable food (biscuits, dry fruits, ready-to-eat food)
- Basic medicines and first-aid
- Torch, batteries, mobile phone charger/power bank
- Identification cards and important documents in a zip bag
3. Find Out Where to Take Shelter
If you live close to a border, this is an immediate question.
Find out:
- Where is your nearest safe shelter or bunker (many places near Punjab, Rajasthan, and Kashmir do)
- How to reach there quickly
- Where is the nearest hospital and police station
When shelters are not available:
- Stay inside any inner room of your house (away from windows).
- Keep doors and windows tightly closed or reinforced with heavy objects.
4. Avoid Rumors and Help Your Neighbor
Rumors will travel faster than truths during any conflict.
What you could do:
- Do not share information on social media that has not yet been verified.
- Look after your neighbors who are elderly or live alone.
- Explain to children not to panic and calm them down.
- We help each other, and that will be the best thing we can do during uncertain times.
5. Follow Government Orders
This includes:
- Evacuation notices
- Curfews
- Instructions on where and how to travel safely
- If martial law is declared, or if movements are actually restricted, obey the rulings. At the very least, they serve to ensure public safety.
- Important: Maintain fuel in your vehicle’s tank at least half-full. Petrol stations might shut down during the emergency.
