According to the Bloomberg News website on May 10, amid rapid escalation of military conflict between India and Pakistan, two nuclear-armed countries, many Indians, especially those living near the Pakistani border, have begun to stockpile groceries, medicines and gasoline and cancel travel plans.

In some towns in Punjab, India, such as Bertankod, Amritsar and Chandigarh, local residents have experienced this panic buying phenomenon. Gargandip Madan, 42, runs a grocery store about 9 miles from the Atari-Wagh border near Amritsar, Punjab. He said that on Wednesday, almost all stores in the area had sold out basic food at stores including his.

"Customers came to buy wheat, rice, sugar and beans that were about a month old. Everyone here was in panic. Everyone wanted to be prepared."

The report said that as both countries said they had shot down each other's drones and missiles in the past few days, local media reported that the number of tourists in some tourist hotspots was declining. India has closed more than twenty airports in the north and west of the country.

Some residents in Amritsar experienced a power outage last night. They were worried that they would not be able to use electric water pumps to extract groundwater after the power outage, so they used large containers to store water.

In Bertangod, food and snacks are also snapping up in some small grocery stores.

State-owned refiner Petroleum Corporation of India has tried to alleviate concerns, saying it has sufficient fuel reserves and discourage people from stocking up.

According to reports, the Indian Super Cricket League is the most profitable cricket event in the world, which was originally scheduled to end on May 25 and has now been suspended for at least one week.

The conflict has also led to the delay of several activities across Pakistan. The EU-Pakistan Business Forum in Islamabad, an investment summit in Lahore and the "Australia Day" event in Karachi have all been cancelled or postponed.

The streets of Karachi are silent and road traffic is reduced. On the evening of the 8th, a high-end restaurant had almost no customers, and the only TV in the store also switched to the news channel.

Jalar Shah, founder of 24SEVEN, which helped some grocery stores to digitize, said that despite the lack of panic buying in Pakistan stores, sales of flashlights and batteries have risen in the past few days.
