Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will carry out a comprehensive review of national security challenges and the military’s combat readiness at the second joint commanders’ conference in Jaipur on the first anniversary of Operation Sindoor on Thursday.
To avenge Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 innocent civilians, including a foreign national, India launched Ops Sindoor dismantling nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in the early hours of May 7 last year eliminating at least 100 terrorists.
The Ministry of Defence hailed the multi-domain operation as a landmark tri-services mission that stands testament to India’s “unflinching political will and military resolve characterised by surgical precision”.
Singh and the top military brass are expected to review various aspects of the country’s military preparedness in view of the evolving regional security scenario.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Chief of Defence Staff Anil Chauhan will attend the conference, which gains added significance as it coincides with the first anniversary of Operation Sindoor.
The operation is being seen as a landmark joint-services effort, reflecting India’s political resolve and military capability, marked by precision strikes, an official statement said.
“Modern warfare is shifting towards a more complex, technology-driven paradigm, shaped by the transformative impact of artificial intelligence, the rise of unmanned systems, and emerging threats that extend beyond conventional battlefields into less visible domains,” the statement noted.
According to the ministry, the conference will serve as a key platform to assess challenges in emerging areas such as cyber, space and cognitive warfare, while outlining a roadmap for building a resilient, future-ready force with a decisive edge.
