Ranchi, 18 September (IANS) chief Defense Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan on Thursday interacted with the students of the school at Jharkhand Raj Bhavan, where he first revealed why Operation Sindoor and why were they selected to launch an accurate plan on 7 May.

He said, “Time was chosen time to harm the civic casualties and property, while the date was matched with a favorable weather conditions. The sky was clear, making it easy to hit our goals,” he said.
He described the operation as a will for the “unique capacity, acumen and coordination” of three services.
He said, “The Air Force achieved the exact target, and the weapons performed accurately. The Army and the Navy organized the positions from the land to the sea. The success was the result of the widespread preparation and deep understanding of the success distance, angle and science,” he said.
The CDS said Operation Sindoor employed a separate strategy compared to those used in Balkot and Uri strikes.
