Operation Sindoor was launched on May 7 in retaliation to the heinous Pahalgam attack. While it was announced that the war concluded within three days, Army Chief Gen Upendra Dwivedi on Friday said “the war didn’t end on May 10, it continued for a long time”.

During a book launch in Delhi, Gen Dwivedi said, “You may be thinking that on May 10, the war finished; no, because it continued for a long time, because so many decisions were to be taken, and beyond that, of course, it will be difficult for me to share here.”

Gen Upendra Dwivedi on Friday released a book on Operation Sindoor and highlighted that the book shares insights of the political clarity, interpretation of “full freedom” which was given to the armed forces during Operation Sindoor.

The book, titled ‘Operation Sindoor: The Untold Story of India’s Deep Strikes Inside Pakistan’, has been written by former Army officer and author, Lt Gen KJS Dhillon (retd), and it was launched at the event held at the Manekshaw Centre.

Gen Dwivedi said the author has tried to cover aspects “which generally remain unheard, untold, because the uniformed people cannot speak about it”.

“And, what is rightly brought out, as far as the Line of Control battle is concerned, we got so much used to this kind of a battle that we don’t realise the relevance, the emotions, the losses, the gains and the challenges which are there,” Gen Dwivedi added.
