Srinagar

Inspector General of the Border Security Force (BSF) Ashok Yadav on Sunday said that Operation Sindoor remains underway and warned that any provocative action by Pakistan will be met with a strong and decisive response.

He said that while several launching pads and forward locations along the Line of Control (LoC) have been destroyed in recent operations, some continue to remain active and terrorists are still present across the border.

Speaking to reporters in Srinagar, Yadav said, “During Operation Sindoor, the Army and BSF destroyed numerous launching pads and several forward locations of Pakistan. Some steps have been taken to address the destroyed launching pads, which were highly vulnerable. However, many launching pads along the LoC are still intact, and some terrorists continue to be present there. We are working to thwart any infiltration attempts. Operation Sindoor is not over yet, and any action by Pakistan will be met with a befitting response.”

India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 following the Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 civilians were killed. The operation aimed to dismantle terror infrastructure along the LoC and deeper inside Pakistan-occupied territory.

Meanwhile, the Border Security Force, marking its Diamond Jubilee and 61st Raising Day, highlighted major operational achievements of Frontier Headquarters Jammu. The force underscored its continuous role in securing the International Border (IB) with Pakistan and the LoC in close coordination with the Indian Army, the BSF PRO said.

Reaffirming its motto “Jeevan Paryant Kartavya,” BSF Jammu reiterated its commitment to safeguarding the border population through round-the-clock vigilance and enhanced operational readiness.

BSF Jammu currently mans nearly 200 km of the International Border and is deployed along the LoC alongside the Army. In 2025, the frontier played a key role in Operation Sindoor while simultaneously tackling challenges from Pakistan, including cross-border firing, infiltration bids, narcotics smuggling, and drone activity.
