D-Chowk, a prominent town square in Pakistan's national capital often used for political rallies and public gatherings that was closed for a month following the Indo-Pak tensions, will be opened to traffic this week, according to a media report.

The D- Chowk, which was one of the busiest intersections here, was shut after the tensions escalated between India and Pakistan in the wake of the Pulwama terror attack by the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) in Kashmir which killed 40 CRPF personnel.

After the suicide attack, India carried out air strikes against the biggest training camp of JeM in Balakot in Pakistan on February 26. In the operation, a very large number of JeM terrorists, trainers, senior commanders and groups of jihadis who were being trained for suicide attacks were killed
