Precision strikes big draw
NEW DELHI: Operation Sindoor once again demonstrated the Indian armed forces' professional mettle by successfully executing precision strikes on the terrorist infrastructure without hitting any civil or military establishments.
These calibrated and calculated strikes were conducted despite Pakistan forces indiscriminately targeting India's military and civil structures. It serves as a reminder of the 1999 Kargil conflict with Pakistan when the Indian Army and the Air Force refrained from crossing the Line of Control (LoC) despite provocations.
The specific hits achieved under the operations were led by intelligence information on the camps and infrastructure. A total of 21 terrorist camps of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) were identified, of which nine were selected as targets hit by the missiles and artillery munitions.
The 'Operation Sindoor', aimed at hitting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, from where terrorist attacks against India were planned and directed. Of the 21 locations, nine (9) sites were targeted. Indian forces attacked Pakistan and PoK at 21 locations: Sawai Nalla, Syed Na Bilal, Maskar-E-Aqsa, Chelabandi, Abdullah Bin Masood, Dulai, Garhi Habibullah, Batrasi, Balakot, Oghi, Boi, Sensa, Gulpur, Kotli, Barali, Dungi, Barnala, Mehmoona Joya, Sarjal, Muridke, Bahawalpur. Meanwhile, the nine sites destroyed were:
Sarjal/Tehra Kalan facility, Jaish-e-Mohammad Shakargarh, District Narowal: This is the main launching site of JeM for infiltration of terrorists into Jammu and Kashmir. This facility is located inside the premises of a primary health centre in Tehra Kalan village of Sarjal to conceal its real purpose. Sarjal camp in Sialkot lies 6 km inside Pakistan.
It's the camp where those terrorists involved in the killing of four Jammu and Kashmir police personnel received their training. Mehmoona Joya camp of Hizbul Mujahideen (HM): It is 12-18 km inside Pakistan near Kotli Bhutta Government Hospital in the Head Marala area of Sialkot district of Punjab. The terror backers, Pakistan ISI, have facilitated the setting up of such launch facilities along the IB and LoC in government buildings to hide or conceal terror infrastructure. It's one of the biggest camps of Hizbul Mujahideen.

Two Canadians of Indian descent, Aman Kang (24) and Mani Singh Dhaliwal (31), were also arrested. Authorities claim that they were hired by Gurvindar Singh to recover and distribute the cocaine cargo. Singh is facing five charges for importing a commercial quantity of border-controlled drugs and illegal tobacco, two counts of dealing with proceeds of crime, and two charges related to leading a criminal group. If found guilty, he could face life in prison. Kang and Dhaliwal have been charged with possessing a commercial quantity of drugs and participating in a criminal group. All three were denied bail during their initial court appearances and are scheduled to return to Downing Centre Local Court in July. Singh's lawyer argued for his release on bail, citing his client's underlying health issues and the fact that he is the sole provider for his family.

He added that the Indian Rupee was doing well in the global market, showing strength against the US dollar. Rupani said in the next few years, the Indian economy could become the third largest in the world, surpassing Germany. BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh said BJP could save Punjab's industry, which was forced to shift to other states due to lack of security and anti-industry policies. He urged the industrialists to vote for the BJP if they wanted to save the industry of Punjab. Onkar Singh Pahwa promised support for BJP candidate Jiwan Gupta on behalf of the cycle industry. Several other meetings were held with representatives of the hosiery and dyeing industry.

He welcomed the continued collaboration under the Technology Security Initiative and noted its potential to shape trusted and secure innovation ecosystems. Tensions had surged in April after 26 people were killed in India's Kashmir, an incident India blamed on Pakistan-backed militants, which Islamabad denied. In response, India launched strikes on what it described as terrorist infrastructure inside Pakistan, prompting retaliatory moves and escalation until both countries agreed to halt hostilities.
