President Droupadi Murmu briefed on Operation Sindoor
The chief of the defence staff and the three service chiefs on Wednesday briefed President Droupadi Murmu on how Operation Sindoor was planned and executed during May 7-10 with minimum collateral damage, and the goals achieved as India’s direct military response to the Pahalgam terror attack unfolded in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), officials said.
“The President commended the valour and the dedication of the armed forces that made India’s response to terrorism a sterling success,” the Rashtrapati Bhavan said after the meeting.
The meeting came a day after the CDS and the three chiefs briefed veterans and members of think tanks on the operation that was launched in the early hours of May 7 when India hit nine terror camps inside Pakistan and PoK, killing more than 100 terrorists.
And between the strike on the terror camps and the calling of the ceasefire on May 10, the Indian Air Force struck multiple military targets in Pakistan.
Operation Sindoor was launched as a coordinated strike targeting terror bases located in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). The operation was a direct retaliation to the brutal terrorist attack in Pahalgam and aimed at dismantling the infrastructure used to facilitate cross-border terrorism.
