India announced a raft of measures to downgrade its ties with Pakistan on Wednesday, a day after suspected militants killed 26 men at a tourist destination in Kashmir in the worst attack on civilians in the country in nearly two decades.

Pakistan had also halted its main train service to India and banned Indian films, seeking to exert diplomatic pressure.
