Hyderabad, Dec 13 (Maxim News): Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan said intensity of the operations may have ebbed but Operation Sindoor continues.
“In an era defined by a high degree of operational preparedness 24/7, 365 days, the intensity of operations may have ebbed, but Operation Sindoor continues,” he said.

The J stands for jointness in fighting as one nation and one force, A-Atmanirbharta, manufacturing trusted platforms and systems not just for India but for the world, and I – innovation, which is daring to think ahead of the curve. These three pillars will shape the future of India’s combat power,” he said.
