In the wake of the recent developments between India and Pakistan, India has declared Pakistan a “No School-Going Mission” and asked staff members at the High Commission in Islamabad to either return or send their school-going children back home. As tension with Pakistan over Kashmir grew, the Indian government today asked all its embassy staff in Islamabad to send their school-going children back to the country for security reasons. According to an official source, "What it means is that no Indian official based in Pakistan can have his or her children living with them.

Those who seek a posting in Pakistan will have to keep that in mind too,". But spouses, however, can remain in Pakistan for now. Declaring Pakistan a 'no school-going mission', the government asked its Indian High Commission in Islamabad to ensure all the 50-60 children studying in various schools there are sent back. MEA spokesperson vikas Swarup said, "It is a normal practice for all countries to review staffing and related policies for their diplomatic missions, including in view of prevailing circumstances at those stations. With effect from this academic session, officials posted in the High Commission of India in Islamabad have been advised to make arrangements for education of their wards outside Pakistan, till further notice.
