One wonders, if there's no hostage situation, then what's stopping the Indian forces from mounting an assault on the gunmen's location, unless off course they are taking shelter somewhere sensitive.
As the Commanders put it, its a mini city inside the base, including schools and accommodation.
 
Pathankot Attack: 2 Terrorists Still In Hiding At Air Force Base

PATHANKOT: The terrorists who attacked the Pathankot air base hid in a building where India Air Force personnel live with their families. At least two terrorists are still alive and operations are on to flush them out of the residential building, officers said.
Here are the latest developments:
  1. "The terrorists again opened fire on our columns close to mid-day and were engaged...these terrorists were holed up in a double-storeyed building which was the living accommodation of air force personnel," a senior Army officer said on Monday.
  2. An NSG officer with him said all families and personnel are safe and "all strategic assets at the airbase have been secured." The Pathankot air force base houses nearly 1,500 families.
  3. The officers described the situation at the base as "under control" and said the operation to eliminate the remaining terrorists was in its final stages.
  4. Heavy firing was heard since Monday morning from inside the air base, where a gunbattle has been on since two teams of terrorists attacked it on Saturday morning.
  5. Five terrorists have reportedly been killed, though the body of one of them is yet to be recovered.
  6. Seven security personnel have died. The funerals of three martyrs were held on Monday. Lt Col Niranjan Kumar of the NSG will be cremated tomorrow in in his home-town Palakkad.
  7. The terrorists are believed to have crossed over into India on the intervening night of December 30-31. They entered the air force base sometime between January 1 and 2, the firing began early on Saturday morning.
  8. The security forces engaged the terrorists with the help of attack helicopters, mine-proof and bullet-proof personnel carriers.
  9. They also secured vital air force assets. The air base houses MiG-21 fighter jets and Mi-25 and Mi-35 attack helicopters, along with other military hardware.
  10. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has chaired meetings to discuss the Pathankot attack, which comes a week after he became the first Indian premier in 12 years to visit Pakistan.

All Mobile SIM cards in Pakistan are issued and activated with bio-metric record of person to whom it's issued, So - GOI shouldn't waste anytime to find out the owner of those SIM cards.

Provided Pakistan provides access to these records. Highly doubt it
