| Operation Sindoor ongoing: Chief of Defence Staff | | | Early Times Report
NEW DELHI, July 25: Asserting that Operation Sindoor “still continues”, Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan on Friday said the country’s military preparedness must remain at a “very high” level, round-the-clock and throughout the year.
In his address at a defence seminar hosted at Subroto Park in New Delhi, he also said the military in future will also need “information warriors, technology warriors and scholar warriors.” And, in a merging landscape of warfare, a future soldier will need to be a mix of all three “info, tech and scholar warriors,” the CDS said.
The seminar on ‘Aerospace Power: Preserving India’s Sovereignty and Furthering National Interests’ was held under the aegis of the ‘No.4 Warfare and Aerospace Strategy Programme’.
The CDS said there are no runners-up in a war, and any military must be constantly alert and maintain a high degree of operational preparedness.
“An example is Operation Sindoor, which still continues. Our preparedness level has to be very high, 24×7, 365 days (a year),” Gen Chauhan said.
India launched Operation Sindoor early on May 7 and decimated multiple terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK).
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 halted after they reached an understanding on the evening of May 10.
The CDS also emphasised the importance of learning about both ‘Shastra’ (warfare) and ‘Shaastra’ (knowledge system). |
