Operation Sindoor still going on: Army Chief
General Dwivedi said, ‘The situation on the northern front is stable, but there is a need to keep a constant watch. The situation is gradually becoming normal due to renewed contacts and trust building measures. He said that Operation Sindoor is still going on and any misadventure in future will be responded to strictly. Regarding Operation Sindoor, he said that through 22 minutes of intense action on May 7, 2025 and an 88-hour coordinated campaign that continued till May 10, this operation redefined strategic beliefs. Deep attacks were made on the terrorist structure.
‘Army has kept an eye on the terrorist camp located in Pakistan’
He said, ‘In those 88 hours, you saw that the mobilization of the army to expand the conventional military area was such that if Pakistan made any mistake, we were fully prepared to launch ground action.’ Camps still exist in Pakistani occupied areas adjacent to the Indian border. The Indian Army is keeping an eye on them and will take action if needed.
General Upendra Dwivedi said, ‘As per our knowledge, about 8 camps are still active. Of these, 2 are opposite the international border and 6 are opposite the Line of Control. There is still a presence on these campuses. We are keeping an eye on them, if any action is taken then we will definitely take the action as per our intention.
