Operation Sindoor remains ongoing, as emphasized by both Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Dinesh K. Tripathi and Border Security Force (BSF) Inspector General Ashok Yadav. Admiral Tripathi highlighted the operation’s effectiveness in demonstrating India’s naval preparedness, particularly following the Pahalgam terrorist attack, with the carrier battle group in the Northern Arabian Sea exerting pressure on the Pakistani navy. He also underscored the critical need for maintaining a robust aircraft carrier fleet, especially with INS Vikramaditya nearing retirement. Concurrently, IG Yadav noted that the operation is focused on countering cross-border infiltration and terror infrastructure along the Line of Control (LoC), warning Pakistan of a “befitting reply” to any misadventures. He addressed the evolving nature of infiltration tactics and the challenges posed by narco-terror activities aimed at Kashmiri youth, asserting that enhanced coordination between the BSF and the Army has led to the neutralization of several infiltration attempts. The ongoing operation underscores India’s commitment to national security and the readiness of its forces to counter external threats, reflecting a strategic approach to safeguarding its borders and maintaining regional stability.
