Rajnath Singh lauds Navy's role during Operation Sindoor

By our Special Correspondent

Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday visited INS Vikrant, India's first indigenously-built aircraft carrier, currently deployed in the Arabian Sea. The visit came weeks after the Indian Navy's strategic Carrier Battle Group, led by INS Vikrant, played a decisive role during Operation Sindoor.

During his visit, Singh reviewed operational outcomes of the mission and interacted with naval personnel who were part of the deployment. His visit is seen as a morale booster for the forces, following Operation Sindoor's success in exerting pressure on Pakistan to de-escalate tensions.
