Jaish-e-Mohammed’s (JeM) headquarters in Pakistan’s Bahawalpur, which were heavily damaged in strikes launched by India during Operation Sindoor last year, have been rebuilt.
As per images and intelligence inputs accessed by several media reports, the Markaz Subhanallah has been rebuilt with new plaster, paint, and polished marble
Notably, it was badly damaged in India’s strikes last year. The central hall, which had been damaged, has now been repaired, with the craters filled and the structure refurbished.
While the structure was fully damaged, it now appears to be prepared for regular use by the terrorist organisation.
Citing intelligence inputs, several news outlets have claimed that the Pakistani establishment provided nearly PKR 25 crore to JeM in cash instalments, with approximately PKR 11 crore reportedly given for reconstruction of the central hall.
Further, it has been highlighted that structures adjoining the main complex, which includes the Madrasa Al-Sabir, described as an indoctrination centre, and residential quarters used by JeM commanders, have been cleared or demolished, while new construction has taken place at the site.
The facility in Bahawalpur was among the main sites targeted by Indian armed forces during the highly successful Operation Sindoor launched in May last year, in response to the ghastly terrorist attack carried out in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam.
During the operation, India struck at the heart of Pakistan-based terror infrastructure to target well-known training camps in Muridke and Bahawalpur in a joint operation conducted by the Indian Army, Indian Air Force, and Indian Navy.
The highly coordinated operation was launched on May 6 and 7. It witnessed firing of 24 missiles that precisely hit nine terror facilities across Pakistan as well as Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK), killing a large number of terrorists.
