Pakistan has reportedly rebuilt the Bahawalpur headquarters of UN-designated terrorist group Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), months after the facility was badly damaged in India's Operation Sindoor strikes.

Images and intelligence inputs cited in several media reports reportedly show that the Markaz Subhanallah complex has undergone extensive reconstruction, with fresh plaster, new paint and polished marble visible at the site.

The central hall of the facility, which sustained heavy damage during the strikes, has also been repaired. Craters have reportedly been filled and the structure refurbished, with the complex now appearing ready for regular use by JeM.

Pakistan reportedly provided funds for reconstruction

Several media reports, citing intelligence inputs, have claimed that the Pakistani establishment provided around Pakistani Rs 25 crore to JeM in cash instalments for rebuilding the damaged facility.

Of this amount, around Rs 11 crore was reportedly allocated for reconstruction of the central hall.

Other structures adjoining the main complex have also reportedly been cleared, demolished or rebuilt. These include the Madrasa Al-Sabir, described in the reports as an indoctrination centre, as well as residential quarters used by JeM commanders.

JeM facility was among Operation Sindoor targets

The Bahawalpur complex was among the sites targeted by India during Operation Sindoor in May 2025.

Operation Sindoor was launched following the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, 2025, in which Pakistan-backed attackers reportedly singled out victims after asking about their religion and made them recite the Islamic kalima to identify non-Muslims.

Twenty-five tourists and a local pony ride operator who attempted to save the tourists were among those killed in the attack.

India said the operation targeted terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK). The coordinated strikes by the Indian Army, Air Force and Navy targeted nine terror facilities using 24 missiles.

The targets included the Lashkar-e-Taiba headquarters in Muridke and key JeM-linked facilities in Bahawalpur, which India identified as centres associated with extremist training and indoctrination.

The strikes reportedly killed an estimated 70 terrorists.
