Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on Friday that over 118 enemy posts were destroyed and damaged in retaliatory action along the Jammu frontier by the BSF in a firm response to Pakistani aggression after OP Sindoor.

 

During his first official visit to Jammu and Kashmir after India launched Op Sindoor against the terror camps in Pakistan, he said the border guarding force had dismantled the enemy’s surveillance network, dealing a significant blow that would take those years to repair.

 

While concluding his two-day visit to the region, he reviewed the security situation ahead of the upcoming Amarnath Yatra and also interacted with the victims of the Pakistani shelling in the Poonch district.

 

“When Pakistan responded to our anti-terror operations by attacking our borders and civilian areas, it was the BSF jawans of the Jammu Frontier who retaliated by destroying and damaging over 118 posts,” he said.

 

“They dismantled the enemy’s entire surveillance system piece by piece — a system that will take them four to five years to rebuild. This proves that even during peacetime, you kept a vigilant eye... Based on your accurate intelligence, a precise counter-strategy was prepared well in advance. When the opportunity arose, you implemented it with success," he said.

Calling the feat a reflection of immense patriotism and sacrifice, Shah added, “Such bravery only emerges when there is pride in the nation, a sense of patriotism in the heart, and a passion for supreme sacrifice. That is when such outcomes are possible.”

 

“Whenever there is any kind of attack on India’s borders — organised or unorganised, covert or overt — the first to bear the brunt are our BSF jawans. But they never pause to consider where the boundary lies,” Shah said.

 

“I came to Poonch to visit and share the grief of the damage done to gurudwaras, temples, mosques, and civilian populations.”

 

“I was told the weather was not favourable. Still, I decided that I would go by road and return only after meeting the jawans posted at the border. God was gracious — the weather cleared up, and I had the opportunity to meet you,” he said.
