India’s Defence Minister Rajnath Singh held a high level meeting to review the security situation on the western border with Pakistan today morning at South Block in New Delhi. In this review meeting India’s Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan along with the chiefs of the three services i.e. Chief of Army Staff General Upendra Dwivedi, Naval Chief Admiral Dinesh Kumar Tripathi and Air Force Chief Air Marshal AP Singh were present. Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh was also present in this very important meeting.
According to the information given by the Ministry of Defense, issues related to the security of the western border were discussed in the meeting and information was shared about the operational capability and preparedness of the forces there.
In response to the Pahalgam massacre, the Indian forces launched a missile attack in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and some parts of Pakistan under Operation Sindoor at around 1 am on the night of May 6-7. Many terrorist hideouts were demolished during military action at these places from where anti-India terrorist activities were conducted. Some of these were also training camps of terrorists. Many people were killed in this attack, which was confirmed by Pakistan itself.
It is said that many family members of terrorist Azhar Masood were among the people killed during the initial attack under Operation Sindoor. Enraged by this, Pakistan retaliated to take revenge. The Pakistani army fired in Poonch-Rajouri, areas along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir, in which 16 people lost their lives. The Indian Army also gave a befitting reply to this. Along with this, the Pakistani army also tried to attack the Indian Military bases. Most of these attacks were successfully stopped without any loss to the Indian side.
Seeing the situation of full-fledged war with Pakistan, India has made its preparations. It is understood that various points were discussed in the meeting to take stock of the preparations and to assess the impact of the war.
