CA Exams Postponed Amid India-Pakistan Tensions

Rising Tensions After Pahalgam Terror Attack

The terror attack in Pahalgam shocked the entire nation, sparking anger across India. In response, the Indian Army launched Operation Sindhoor, targeting and destroying terror camps in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. In retaliation, the Pakistani Army attempted attacks on India. This has led to heightened tensions and a sensitive security situation between the two nations. As a result, CA Final Exams have been postponed for safety reasons.
