On the anniversary of Operation Sindoor on Thursday, Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha lauded the valour of the armed forces.

An official statement said that L-G Sinha has hailed the valour of Armed Forces on the anniversary of Operation Sindoor.

"Operation Sindoor is a declaration etched in resolve that our brave armed forces are committed to protect country's sovereignty and integrity at any cost. It is testament of India's firm resolve and we are committed to dismantling the terror network and securing a terror‑free Jammu and Kashmir."

After Pakistan backed Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorists killed 26 innocent civilians, including 25 tourists and a local pony owner, in Baisaran meadow of Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam on April 22, 2025.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave a free hand to the armed forces of the country to avenge the Pahalgam terror attack.

Indian armed forces carried out strikes at terror infrastructure deep inside Pakistan at Muridke near Lahore, Bahawalpur and Muzaffarabad in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK).

Pakistan escalated tension by attacking military and civilian facilities across the Line of control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir.

Fourteen civilians, including a senior civil servant were killed in Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir in cross border shelling by Pakistan, while a mosque, a temple, a gurdwara and a church were also destroyed in Pakistan shelling.

India responded by carrying out strikes at Pakistan's defence installations damaging 18 such siters.

India also threw the Indus Water Treaty of 1960 into abeyance and blocked water flowing to Pakistan from rivers seeded to them as per the treaty.

Operation Sindoor has not been called off as it is has been halted for the present.

While I salute the bravery of our jawans, I'm worried about the civilian cost. 14 innocent people, including a senior civil servant, lost their lives in Poonch due to cross-border shelling. A mosque, temple, gurdwara, and church were destroyed—that's our secular fabric being targeted. Operation Sindoor is necessary, but we cannot forget that war means suffering for ordinary families. I hope the government also focuses on rebuilding the lives of those affected in J&K. 🙏

This is exactly what we needed. For decades, Pakistan has been using terror as a proxy war, and we kept talking. Now, the message is loud and clear: hit terror infrastructure at its roots. Muridke, Bahawalpur, Muzaffarabad—these are not just names, they are strongholds of hate. The fact that we damaged 18 Pakistani defense installations shows our strength. And suspending the Indus Water Treaty is a game-changer—why give water to those who give us bullets? 🇮🇳🔥

As someone who follows geopolitics from the US, I must say India's strategy in Operation Sindoor is remarkably calibrated. Striking deep inside Pakistan while avoiding civilian casualties as much as possible is a difficult balance. The water treaty suspension is a bold economic move that will force Pakistan to rethink its sponsorship of terrorism. Proud of the Indian armed forces for their professionalism—they truly are world-class. Stay strong, India.

Bahut khoob, L-G Saheb! This is the kind of leadership we need. The Pahalgam attack was a cowardly act—killing tourists and a local pony owner who just wanted to earn a living. The armed forces
