JULY 31: In a significant breakthrough, Operation Mahadev conducted by the Indian Army, CRPF, and Jammu and Kashmir Police successfully eliminated three Pakistani terrorists involved in the deadly Pahalgam terror attack. The briefing was led by Lt Gen Pratik Sharma, General Officer Commanding-in-Chief of the Northern Command, and Lt Gen Prashant Srivastava, General Officer Commanding of the 15 Corps.
The Pahalgam terror attack, which had shaken the region earlier, was meticulously planned by the infiltrators who crossed over from Pakistan. Their operations led to the death of several civilians and security personnel, heightening security concerns in the sensitive Kashmir Valley. Operation Mahadev was initiated to trace and neutralize the terrorists responsible for the attack.
Speaking after the operation’s success, Lt Gen Sharma expressed pride in the coordinated efforts of the Army, CRPF, and the Jammu and Kashmir Police. He commended the swift and professional execution of the operation, which led to the elimination of the terrorists in a well-coordinated and efficient manner. The operation marks a significant achievement in restoring peace and security in the region and reaffirms India’s commitment to countering terrorism with utmost resolve.
The quick and decisive action is a testament to the dedication and courage of the armed forces and law enforcement agencies. With the elimination of these terrorists, a major threat to the safety of local residents has been neutralized, and it sends a strong message to terror outfits operating in the region.
This successful operation strengthens the belief that through joint efforts and collaboration between the armed forces and law enforcement agencies, terrorism can be eradicated from the region.
