In an environment steeped in heightened military watchfulness towards Pakistan, the Indian Army has unveiled the depth of its readiness.
Army chief General Upendra Dwivedi has shared new details on Operation Sindoor, which indicate that India is ready for a possible escalation.
Speaking at an event, the Army chief shared that India had done “major mobilisation” and was ready for a “ground offensive” had the conflict between India and Pakistan escalated.
The Army chief’s remarks come days after several drones were spotted along the Line of Control in Kashmir. While General Dwivedi did not share more details, he stated that the situation in the union territory remains “sensitive but firmly under control”.
“As far as our eyes and ears are concerned, since Operation Sindoor is underway, they will remain fully alert. Under this, we have already put in place whatever actions are required from our side,” the Army chief was quoted as saying in response to the question regarding terror camps operating in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
“I would like to inform you that, based on the information we have, nearly eight camps are still active to our knowledge. Of these, around two are located opposite the International Border and six opposite the Line of Control,” he reportedly said, adding that there is still some presence or training activity in these camps.
“If any such activity happens again, we will certainly carry out whatever action we intend to take,” he added further.
Operation Sindoor began in May 2025 as India’s response to the Pahalgam terror attack. On April 22, 2025, at least 26 tourists were gunned down in the worst terror attack to hit Kashmir valley since the 2019 Pulwama attack.
India accused The Resistance Front, an offshoot Pakistan-based terror group Laskhar-e-Taiba for the attack. While TRF and Pakistan denied the claim, India proceeded to carry out military strikes across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
During the tri-forces operation, the Indian Army, Navy and Air Force carried out strikes over nine terror camps in the region. The military operation led to the four-day stand off between India and Pakistan, triggering blackouts and air raid sirens along the LoC and International Border.
