OPERATION SINDOOR Immediately after the cowardly Pakistani sponsored #PahalgamTerrorAttack, the Indian Navy validated the anti-missile and anti-aircraft defence capability in a complex threat environment using a cross platform cooperative mechanism. The operation leveraged #IndianNavy's comprehensive layered Fleet Air Defence mechanism, enabling quick and clear distinction between commercial, neutral and hostile aircraft or flying objects, and neutralisation of threats at extended ranges. The #CarrierBattleGroup with its integral Air Wing provides the first layer of this layered mechanism. The presence of our #AircraftCarrier with a large number of Mig 29K fighters and Air Borne Early Warning helicopters prevented any suspicious or hostile aircraft from closing within several hundred kilometres. Our powerful CBG, with formidable offensive capability was able to operate with impunity and maintained an uncontested presence in the area of operations, compelling the Pakistani Air Elements to remain bottled up close to the coast denying any opportunity to be a threat in maritime space. The #IndianNavy’s dominance thus ensured that should we choose to, we can strike at will. #OperationSindoor Ministry of Defence, Government of India HQ IDS ADG PI - INDIAN ARMY Indian Air Force

The maiden Joint Services Multi-Speciality Camp, being conducted at the Union Territory of Lakshadweep from 12-17 January 2026 was formally inaugurated by Adm Dinesh K Tripathi, #CNS, at Kavaratti, on 13 Jan 26. The camp covering five islands - #Amini, #Androth, #Agatti, #Kavaratti, and #Minicoy - will provide comprehensive medical care to the residents. Over 15 static and mobile medical teams will complement the existing health services on L&M Islands by augmenting the medical equipment, stores, and medicines, and enabling on-site access to specialist and super-specialist care from across the country. A dedicated ophthalmology team has also been deployed at Kavaratti to undertake cataract surgeries for eligible patients. Reflecting the spirit of flagship national initiatives such as Ayushman Bharat - Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY), the camp integrates and provides curative care with preventive and promotive health services to those residing in the most remote regions of the country. Raksha Mantri Shri Rajnath Singh in his video message reaffirmed the Government of India’s commitment to bringing quality healthcare closer to citizens in remote areas, in furtherance of the vision of ‘Swasth Bharat’, and expressed confidence that the camp by bringing together a comprehensive medical setup on a single platform would contribute to long-term health benefits for the island community. Speaking on the occasion #CNS highlighted the three unique features of this camp, Synergy - with professionals from all three Services and local administration; Scope - a vast range of medical specialists and Scale - the number of medical professionals and support personnel deployed for this camp. #CNS emphasised that such joint initiatives strengthen inter-service synergy and civil-military cooperation, while contributing meaningfully to the welfare of citizens. #CNS also met with patients including over 40 beneficiaries of the cataract surgeries undertaken in the last two days. This Multi-Speciality Medical Camp stands as a testament to the dedication of the Indian Defence Forces towards service beyond duty and the unwavering commitment to the health and well-being of the people of Lakshadweep.
