General Upendra Dwivedi, the Army Chief, launched ‘Operation Sindoor: The Untold Story of India’s Deep Strikes Inside Pakistan’ in New Delhi. The book, written by Lieutenant General KJS Dhillon, discusses Indian military actions against Pakistan. General Dwivedi emphasized that Operation Sindoor is still ongoing and not yet complete. He described the book as a testament to the bravery of the Indian Army and the nation, noting the coordinated manner in which the army operated during Operation Sindoor.
General Dwivedi said that contrary to popular belief, the conflict did not conclude on May 10th. He explained that the operation extended beyond that date due to the necessity of numerous decisions. India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, targeting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in response to the April 22nd Pahalgam attack. The Army Chief detailed how the Pakistani army responded, prompting Indian counterattacks that led to a four-day conflict. Military operations ceased on the evening of May 10th following an agreement between the two sides. The book, according to General Dwivedi, includes untold stories and aspects often left unmentioned. He acknowledged the valuable work of Lieutenant General Dhillon (Retd) in compiling the book. General Dwivedi highlighted the impact and significance of the border battles.
