Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi emphasized the importance of synergy among the armed forces during the commissioning of INS Mahe, the inaugural vessel of the Mahe-class anti-submarine warfare craft, in Mumbai. He highlighted Operation Sindoor as a prime example of this collaborative strength, particularly following military actions against terror infrastructure in Pakistan. Stressing that modern conflicts demand multi-domain operations, General Dwivedi noted the enhanced jointness and integration among the Army, Navy, and Air Force, which are vital for national security. He also recognized the Indian Navy’s critical role in both regional and global contexts, advocating for a unified approach to both soft and hard diplomacy as well as humanitarian assistance operations.
