India Pakistan conflict: Chandigarh has banned the hoarding of essential commodities —including rice, wheat, sugar, and fuel—under the Essential Commodities Act after attempted attacks from Pakistan on Thursday, May 8, and further siren warnings in the morning. All traders are required to declare their existing stock to the Department of Food and Supplies within three days.

The India-Pakistan conflicted saw a major escalation on Thursday late evening after Pakistan fired missiles and drones at military sites into Jammu and other states. 

Eight missiles were fired from Pakistan towards Kashmir, an Indian defense personnel said, adding that they were all “intercepted and blocked by Air Defense Units.” The attacks were directed at the towns of Satwari, Samba, Ranbir Singh Pura and Arnia.
