Meet The Two Army Men Who Designed Operation Sindoor Logo
New Delhi: The simple yet symbolic logo of India's Operation Sindoor which has captured the imagination of millions of people across the country, was designed by two Army men. India decimated nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied-Kashmir with precision strikes early on May 7 in response to the dastardly April 22 Pahalgam massacre. Shortly after, the Indian Army's social media handles carried a poignant message with a poster that has now become a defining image of Operation Sindoor. According to the latest edition of India Army's magazine 'Baatcheet' dedicated to Operation Sindoor, the logo of the decisive military action was designed by Lt Col Harsh Gupta and Hav Surinder Singh. In its special issue, it also shared the photographs of the two Armymen, flanked by the now famed logo, and some figures in a box, indicating the massive traction it has garnered on different social media platforms, including X and Instagram. The opening section of the 17-page magazine carries the logo emblazoned across the page with the emblem of the India Army graced on top. The next page recalls the Pahalgam attack that shook the nation and drew condemnation from multiple countries, heads of state and other top leaders. "On 22 April 2025, the nation witnessed a dastardly and brutal act of violence where five terrorists killed 26 innocent civilians in the name of religion. This incident occurred in the serene meadows of Baisaran Valley, Pahalgam, where the tourists had gone to celebrate life with fervor. This incident fortified the resolve of our country to fight terror with punitive action," reads a text captioned 'Pahalagam'. The text is accompanied with photographs of the aftermath of the attack, rows of coffins and of the emotional farewell at a funeral of one of the victims. The 11th page of the magazine also carries a photograph of Army Chief Gen Upendra Dwivedi looking at a screen grid, and mentions the timestamp -- date May 7, 2025, time 0105 hrs. The strike was conducted on May 7 from 1.05 am to 1.30 am under Operation Sindoor and it was launched to deliver justice to the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack and their families, Wing Commander Vyomika Singh and Col Sofiya Qureshi told a press conference hours after the military action. At 1.44 am that day, the government, in a statement, underlined that India has demonstrated "considerable restraint" in the selection of targets and method of execution and that "no Pakistani military facilities have been targeted". Shortly after, the Indian Army's social media handles carried a message with a poster. Along with the message "#PahalgamTerrorAttack Justice is Served. Jai Hind!" the Indian Army's 1.51 am X post carried the poster that was concise in words but heavy on symbolism. The poster had 'OPERATION SINDOOR' written on it with a small bowl carrying vermilion (worn by married Hindu women) forming the first 'O' of the second word while the second 'O' had a dash of the powder around it. Since then, the Indian Army has come up with several thematic short videos on social media platforms that have been widely shared and appreciated. All these videos were made in-house, by the Social Media Section of the Indian Army's Additional Directorate General of Strategic Communication, sources in the military establishment said. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said that Operation Sindoor was not just a military mission, but "the face of a changing India" that reflects the country's resolve, courage, and growing strength on the global stage. Addressing his monthly radio programme Mann Ki Baat, the Prime Minister termed Operation Sindoor as a turning point in the global fight against terror and a symbol of India's growing strength and clarity of purpose.

Did India Hit Pakistans Nuclear Facility In Kirana Hills? Air Marshal AK Bharti Says....
Operation Sindoor: The Indian Armed Forces have shared the details of the devastation they have caused in Pakistan with Operation Sindoor. The India Army has stated that it has hit over 10 airbases of Pakistan while destroying their military installations at multiple sites. India also confirmed the downing of a Pakistani Mirage jet and the destruction of hundreds of Turkish jets. Notably, it was reported that India used missiles like BrahMos, SCALP, Hammer and drones to target Pakistani military installations and airbases. Amid this, a claim went viral on social media with users sharing satellite images and videos claiming that India hit Kirana Hills in Pakistan. According to claims, Pakistan has built an underground nuclear storage facility in the Kirana Hills. Videos were shared on X where plumes of smoke were seen rising from the hill. During Monday's press briefing, Air Marshal AK Bharti was asked whether the Indian Air Force hit the Kirana Hills site or not. Pakistani copium to Kirna Hills nuclear storage site being mauled is that only empty hillside was hit. Reality is different. The hills have deep underground sites with atleast 6 visible entrances. Something very important was hit with multiple penetrating munitions. 1/ — Jaidev Jamwal (@JaidevJamwal) May 11, 2025 Responding to the question smilingly, Bharti said, "Thank you for letting us know that Kirana Hills houses some nuclear installations. We didn't know. We have not hit the Kirana hills, whatever facility is there." N111SZ - Dept. of Energy, US; Code A03192; Landed in Pakistan. Did we hit their nuclear facilities? — Krutik (@krutikvirani) May 11, 2025 Earlier, Air Marshal Bharti had said that Pakistan knows the result of its future misadventure very well. "This time, if Pakistan dares to take any action, then Pakistan knows it what we are going to do," the Air Marshal warned. However, Air Marshal AK Bharti stated on Monday that the purpose of Operation Sindoor was to target terrorists, and not to engage with the Pakistan Military or Pakistani civilians. "Our fight is with the terrorists, our fight is not with the Pakistan Military or Pakistan civilians, so that is very clear. We are very clear in our targeting," he said. Highlighting the evolving nature of modern warfare, Air Marshal AK Bharti stated that future conflicts would differ drastically from previous engagements and stressed the importance of staying ahead of adversaries in an ever-changing battlefield. "This was a different kind of warfare and is bound to happen. God forbid, but if we fight another war, that would be completely different from this one. It is a cat-and-mouse game, and we need to be ahead of the curve to beat the adversary," he said.
