Chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Friday announced that a centre will be built for the training of retired soldiers in the state. He said necessary action will be taken for this by the Sainik Welfare Department.
Dhami made this announcement while participating in the dialogue programme ‘Ek Samvad: Veer Sainik Ke Saath’ (Dialogue with brave soldiers) on the success of Operation Sindoor at the Doon Sainik Institute in Garhi Cantt here.
Dhami said that the unique example of bravery, sacrifice and unwavering dedication set by soldiers in Operation Sindoor will continue to inspire generations to come. “On April 22, terrorists shocked the country and the world by cowardly attacking innocent tourists in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. In response to this, through Operation Sindoor, our forces made it clear what is the result of those who raise their eyes towards the Sindoor (vermilion) of the daughters of India. On May 7, our forces destroyed 9 major terrorist bases, in which more than 100 terrorists were killed”, he said.
The chief minister said that due to the strong leadership and clear policy of PM Narendra Modi, this decisive action against terrorism was successfully carried out.
“Under the leadership of PM Modi, along with boosting the morale of our soldiers, the army is being equipped with state-of-the-art technology and weapons. India is becoming self-reliant in the defence sector. Now our army responds to the enemy’s bullet with bullets”, he said.
