Op Sindoor was orchestra where every musician played role: Army chief

Operation Sindoor was a "trusted orchestra" where every musician played a "simultaneous or synergistic role", and that is how in 22 minutes, the Indian armed forces could destroy nine terrorist targets, Army Chief Gen Upendra Dwivedi said on Saturday. In his address at a convocation ceremony of a Delhi-based management institute, he also said the military operation reflected a "foresight" to anticipate change as the situation unfolded. It was "a response shaped not in the moment, but through years of imagining how intelligence, precision and technology could converge into action," the general officer said. India launched the military operation early on May 7 and decimated multiple terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). Pakistan also launched offensives against India, and all subsequent counter-offensives by India were also carried out under Operation Sindoor. The military conflict between the two nuclear-armed neighbours, lasting nearly 88 hours, ha

In an interactive session, the Army Chief also broadly said that there has been improvement in India's relations with China in the last one year following talks between the leadership of the two countries. On cross-border terrorism from Pakistan, Gen Dwivedi said New Delhi has been following a policy of new normal in dealing with Pakistan, and it will be a challenge for the neighbouring country if it continues to support terror groups targeting India. "India focuses on progress and prosperity. If someone creates obstacles in our course, then we will have to take some action against them," he said. "We have said that talks and terror can't go together; blood and water cannot follow together. We are for a peaceful process, which we will cooperate with. Until then, we will treat ...

CDS calls for incorporating lessons from Op Sindoor into theatre model

Post Operation Sindoor, there are some "more lessons" that the armed forces have learned and it needs to be incorporated into the model of the planned theaterisation, Chief of the Defence Staff Gen Anil Chauhan said on Tuesday.

He was asked what the new normal articulated by the government meant for the Indian military. "For armed forces, it should translate into new normal for us also. That would mean something like better operational preparedness, 24x7, that I think is very, very essential. We should be better prepared in our air defence, counter-UAS (Unmanned Aerial System), electronic warfare, that should be new ..
