PTIGeneral Upendra Dwivedi, Chief of the Army Staff, on Monday visited Laungewala in the forward areas of the Konark Corps in the desert sector to congratulate the troops for their role during Operation Sindoor.
He also reviewed the joint action between the Indian Air Force and the Border Security Force for the Operation. The desert, which stretches from Jaisalmer to the Kutch region, witnessed quick and coordinated operational response from the Indian Army, Indian Air Force, and BSF.
"These joint actions not only blunted enemy intent but also established a new normal in maintaining operational dominance along the western front, the Indian Army said in a statement.
As part of Operation Sindoor, the Indian Army rapidly deployed surveillance assets and air defence systems, in close coordination with the IAF and BSF.
The positioning of weapon systems and other operational enablers, aligned with civil administration support, ensured that the area was dominated by the Indian forces and neutralised potential threats.
"During his interaction with soldiers of the Konark Corps, the Army Chief exhorted a spirited 'Shabash!', acknowledging their valour, unwavering commitment, and dogged determination in defending the International Boundary. He praised the troops for their vigilant actions, including the successful neutralisation of enemy drone incursions, which effectively prevented any misadventure by the adversary in the desert theatre," the Indian Army statement read.
General Dwivedi also praised the commanders and units for their professionalism, high morale, and integrated execution of operational plans.
He highlighted the Army’s tradition of honour and its unflinching readiness to meet future challenges with decisive force, reaffirming the Indian Army’s commitment to safeguarding national sovereignty and ensuring high operational preparedness amidst a dynamic security environment.
"Appreciating the fortitude of men and women serving in the harsh desert terrain amid peak summer conditions, the Army Chief conveyed his and the Nation's admiration for their unrelenting service in defence of national objectives," Indian Army added.
