Addressing the troops, he commended them for their valour, josh, and vigilant actions towards dominating the Line of Control during OPERATION SINDOOR. He also lauded the role played by the troops in the destruction of terror camps in #POJK.”

 

“The #COAS emphasised the need for troops to remain ever prepared to respond to any challenge with decisive force,” the post further read.

 

Earlier on May 14, COAS General Upendra Dwivedi, along with Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan, Chief of Navy Staff Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi and Air Chief Marshal AP Singh, provided a direct perspective from the Apex Leadership of the Indian Armed Forces on the successful conduct of Operation Sindoor on Wednesday.

 

“General Anil Chauhan, Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), along with General Upendra Dwivedi (COAS), Admiral Dinesh K. Tripathi (CNS) and Air Chief Marshal AP Singh (CAS), provide a direct perspective from the Apex Leadership of the Indian Armed Forces on the successful conduct of Operation Sindoor.

 

 Insights on the Tri-Services synergy achieved through clearly stated strategic guidance, and the successful execution of new-age multi-domain operations, with an exceptional degree of Jointness and Integration, deliberated with Veterans and Think Tanks,” Headquarters Integrated Defence Staff wrote.

 

India, on May 6-7, launched operation Sindoor against the terror camps in Pakistan following a deadly terror strike in Pahalgam on April 22 last month. After the attack, Pakistan retaliated with cross-border shelling across the Line of Control and Jammu and Kashmir.

 

However, on May 10, an understanding followed by a ceasefire was announced on both sides, with tensions in uneasy calm still making residents anxious.
