Chief of the Army Staff (COAS) General Upendra Dwivedi on Sunday hailed Operation Sindoor as a powerful testament to India's unity, resolve, and self-confidence.

Speaking on the inaugural podcast of 'Ibex Tarana,' a community radio station serving the Garhwal region, General Dwivedi highlighted the operation's precision and effectiveness, showcasing the Indian Army's strength, discipline, and responsibility.

The COAS said, "Operation Sindoor was not just a military response, it was an expression of India's unity, resolve and self-confidence. The government gave us complete strategic freedom, and the trust shown by the countrymen became our source of inspiration. We destroyed nine terrorist hideouts without any civilian casualties. This shows that the Indian Army is not only powerful but also responsible."

Highlighting the operation's significance, the COAS emphasised its meticulous planning and execution, calling it a "worthy answer to terrorism". He praised the soldiers for their courage, restraint, and discipline, noting that the operation's success reflected the Indian Army's commitment to protecting the nation responsibly.

"I am proud that our soldiers completed this operation with discipline, restraint and immense courage. This victory is not only of the army but of the entire nation. Operation Sindoor is a well-planned, precise and worthy answer to terrorism," General Dwivedi added.

He further added a poignant cultural note, stating, "I want to say one more thing: Due to the name of Operation Sindoor, whenever any mother, sister, or daughter applies Sindhoor, she proudly remembers our soldiers. Terrorism will get a befitting reply every time. We are alert, capable and always fully prepared."

The remarks were made during the launch of 'Ibex Tarana', a community radio station dedicated to the people of Uttarakhand's Garhwal region.

Established by the Indian Army, the station aims to serve as a powerful medium for community empowerment and regional development. Located in Joshimath, 'Ibex Tarana' is expected to amplify local voices, celebrate Garhwal's rich cultural heritage, and facilitate information dissemination for residents and tourists alike.

As per a statement by the Additional Directorate General of Public Information (ADGPI), the initiative was a testament to the Indian Army's enduring commitment to connecting and uplifting remote border communities.

The ADGPI stated, "'Ibex Tarana' will amplify local voices, celebrate Garhwal's rich cultural heritage, facilitate information dissemination for locals and tourists, and promote community participation in matters of regional interest. "

"The station has been dedicated to the people of the Garhwal region, with the aim of serving as a powerful medium for community empowerment and regional development. This unique initiative is a testament to the enduring commitment of the Indian Army towards connecting and uplifting remote border communities in India's first villages," it further added.

Proud of our armed forces! Operation Sindoor shows how precisely our army can strike terror hideouts without harming civilians. The cultural connect with sindoor is brilliant - now every time I see married women wearing it, I'll remember our brave soldiers. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

While I appreciate our army's efforts, I hope we also focus on long-term solutions through diplomacy. Military operations are necessary but shouldn't be the only tool in our strategy. The community radio initiative in Garhwal is a wonderful step though - shows the army cares about development too.

The naming of the operation is genius! Sindoor represents both our culture and the fire of patriotism. Our soldiers are the real heroes - working silently while we sleep peacefully. The radio station for Garhwal is another example of how our army serves the nation beyond just warfare.

As someone from Uttarakhand, I'm doubly proud today! Our Garhwali boys in the army have always been brave, and now they're helping develop our region too through Ibex Tarana. Operation Sindoor's success shows why we must fully support our armed forces. 🙏

Zero civilian casualties in 9 hideouts destroyed? That's surgical precision! This is why we spend on defense. But media should give more details - was this across LoC or our side? People have right to know while keeping OPSEC in mind.

The army's dual role is impressive - protecting borders while also running community development projects. My husband is posted in Siachen right now, and I know first-hand how much our soldiers sacrifice. Operation Sindoor's success gives us families immense pride and comfort.
