“More than 100 terrorists were killed in the operation. It brought Pakistan to its knees within two days, forcing it to beg for a ceasefire,” Dhami said while addressing a gathering at the end of the yatra at Gandhi Park.
Thanking people for participating enthusiastically in the foot march, the chief minister said it shows each citizen of the country stands with the security forces.
He also asked them to celebrate the historic success of Operation Sindoor every year.
The procession began from Shaurya Sthal Cheedbagh and concluded at the Gandhi Park in the heart of the city.
Thousands of people, including ex-servicemen and women, marched with the chief minister holding the tricolour in hand.
Dhami also paid tributes to the martyred soldiers by offering a floral wreath at the Shaurya Sthal before starting the yatra.
Cabinet minister Ganesh Joshi, Rajya Sabha MP and state BJP president Mahendra Bhatt, former chief minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank, and MLAs Khajan Das and Umesh Sharma Kau also participated in the march.
Launched on May 7, Operation Sindoor was India’s retaliatory strike targeting nine terror infrastructures in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir. The operation followed the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack in south Kashmir’s Anantnag district, where 25 tourists and a local were killed. PTI ALM ALM KVK KVK
