\"The past year saw a sharp rise in the number of armed conflicts worldwide. These global shifts underline a simple reality -- nations that stay prepared prevail. In this backdrop, Operation Sindoor, India's calibrated, resolute response to cross-border terrorism, demonstrated our readiness, precision and strategic clarity.\"

He mentioned that the situation along the North-western Front \"remains stable, but needs constant vigil\", adding that apex-level interactions, renewed contact, and confidence-building measures are contributing to the \"gradual normalisation\" of the situation that has also enabled grazing, hydrotherapy camps, and other activities along the Northern Borders.
