How India ‘Choked’ Pakistan’s Makran Coast, Forced Sharif To ‘Beg’ For Ceasefire I Kargil War

Former Indian Navy spokesperson Capt DK Sharma (Retd) reveals a lesser-known turning point of the Kargil War. He recalled how the Indian Navy created an exclusion zone in the Arabian Sea, cutting off Pakistan’s vital maritime supply lines. From crude oil and fuel to cargo and food supplies, everything that entered Pakistan by sea was effectively blocked. The naval pressure was strategic and calculated. According to Capt Sharma, Pakistan was left gasping, with fuel supplies running critically low. The chokehold at sea, he said, forced then Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to rush to the United States seeking a ceasefire. A silent naval strategy, but one that changed the course of the conflict.
