Jabalpur ordnance factory cancels employee leave amid rising India-Pak tensions

Several Indian defence manufacturing units, especially under Munitions India Limited (MIL), have cancelled long leaves of employees, citing a need to accelerate production. This comes in the wake of the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, which escalated India-Pakistan tensions. While no official nationwide circular was issued, many units have internally enforced the order. MIL factories play a crucial role in arms production for both domestic defence and exports. The government has also moved to curb trade and diplomatic ties with Pakistan.
