BSF's Neha Bhandari Recalls 72 Hours At Forward Post During Op Sindoor
BSF jawan Neha Bhandari has recounted her experience of taking part in Operation Sindoor and opened up on the preparations and strategy put in to fight against Pakistan.
Border Security Force Assistant Commandant Neha Bhandari, who was given a prestigious Commendation Disc for her role in Operation Sindoor, on Saturday said that she was proud to take part in India's operation in response to the Pahalgam terror attack.
She detailed how she stayed on duty for 72 hours straight after the terror attack, stepping up vigilance to foil any infiltration bid along the border.
'We started preparing our bunkers and morchas. We became more alert. We anticipated Pakistan's retaliatory strikes. We trained our jawans on how to keep themselves safe and operate in this situation. We started our preparations on April 22. On May 7, when India struck Pakistan, we stayed on forward posts for 72 hours. It was very important to guard the border," she said while speaking at CNN-News18 Defence Townhall.
She recounted how shelling started along the border and said, 'Pakistan attacked at around 3 pm. Shelling started. We had to hit back. We had the orders to retaliate. Action would have been better if the ceasefire had not taken place."
