Following the deadly attack on Pahalgam that claimed 26 innocent lives, the Indian armed forces launched 'Operation Sindoor' aimed to attack the terror infrastructures in Pakistan and its occupied regions in Kashmir. Following this move, there have been varied changes witnessed in the advertising and marketing world, where several brands across categories like travel, outdoor and hospitality temporarily paused its promotional activities.

In parallel, telecom operators have been directed to ensure uninterrupted connectivity in border areas, while operations at 32 airports remain temporarily halted as a safety measure. The BCCI also paused IPL 2025 amid mounting military tensions between the two nuclear-armed nations.

Following this move, IPL teams have expressed their solidarity for the Indian Army by taking to their respective Instagram (IG) handles.
