The Army Chief noted that the operation had reset strategic assumptions in the region, with Indian forces striking deep to dismantle terror infrastructure.

According to him, Operation Sindoor showcased India’s ability to respond decisively while maintaining escalation control, sending a strong signal to hostile elements across the border.

He highlighted that renewed military-level contacts and confidence-building measures have contributed to gradual normalisation of conditions along the border.
