New Delhi, May 14 Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan, along with the three service chiefs -- Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi, Air Force Chief Air Chief Marshal A.P. Singh, and Navy Chief Admiral Dinesh Kumar Tripathi -- called on President Droupadi Murmu at Rashtrapati Bhavan on Wednesday to brief her on 'Operation Sindoor'.
As the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, the President was apprised of the details and outcomes of the operation, which was launched in response to the brutal killing of 26 people by terrorists in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, on April 22.
The armed forces launched 'Operation Sindoor' to neutralise the perpetrators. Strikes were carried out on terrorist camps located in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (PoK).
According to military sources, over 100 terrorists were eliminated during 'Operation Sindoor'.
President Murmu lauded the courage and efforts of the armed forces and described the operation as a "matter of national pride."
The President was given a comprehensive account of these developments during the briefing.
A day earlier, CDS General Anil Chauhan had also met Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar at his residence in New Delhi.
