Srinagar (Jammu & Kashmir): Border Security Force (BSF) Inspector General Ashok Yadav on Sunday said that Operation Sindoor is still underway and warned that any provocation from Pakistan will be met with a strong and appropriate response.
Addressing reporters in Srinagar, Yadav said that although several Pakistani launching pads and forward positions along the Line of Control (LoC) have been destroyed, some remain functional and continue to shelter terrorists.
“During Operation Sindoor, the Army and BSF destroyed numerous launching pads and forward locations of Pakistan. While action has been taken against the vulnerable sites, many launching pads are still intact, and terrorists remain present there,” he said. “We are committed to foiling every infiltration attempt. Operation Sindoor is not over yet, and any action by Pakistan will receive a befitting reply.”
India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 following the Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 civilian lives. The operation aims to dismantle terror infrastructure along the LoC and deeper inside Pakistan-occupied regions.
Meanwhile, the BSF, celebrating its Diamond Jubilee and 61st Raising Day, highlighted major operational achievements of its Jammu Frontier, which guards about 200 km of the International Border (IB) with Pakistan and works alongside the Indian Army on the LoC.
According to the BSF PRO, the force has faced multiple challenges throughout 2025, including cross-border firing, infiltration bids, narcotics smuggling, and drone intrusions, while playing a critical role in Operation Sindoor.
Reaffirming its motto “Jeevan Paryant Kartavya”, BSF Jammu reiterated its commitment to ensuring the safety of border residents and maintaining high vigilance along the frontier.
