New Delhi: Security in the national capital has been intensified, with additional police personnel and paramilitary forces deployed at key locations following ‘Operation Sindoor’, an official said. The Indian Armed Forces carried out precision strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir on Wednesday morning.
A senior police officer said that the national capital was already on high alert and multiple agencies will carry out mock drills on Wednesday at 4 pm.
As of 7.42 am, 20 flights have been cancelled at the Delhi airport, according to a source. As many as 76 departing flights and 46 arriving flights were delayed, according to live flight tracking website Flightradar24.
“Kindly note, due to changing airspace conditions, some flights have been impacted at Delhi Airport. For updated flight information, passengers are advised to contact their respective airlines or may visit our official website,” Delhi Airport said in a post on X early Wednesday.
Operation Sindoor Details
In an official statement, the Ministry of Defence confirmed hitting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir “from where terrorist attacks against India have been planned and directed.”
“Our actions have been focused, measured and non-escalatory in nature. No Pakistani military facilities have been targeted. India has demonstrated considerable restraint in selection of targets and method of execution.”
The Defence Ministry said India is living up to the commitment that those responsible for this attack will be held accountable.
India’s strikes come hours before a planned security mock drill across the country for “effective civil defence in the event of a hostile attack”, across 244 districts. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has vowed to pursue the perpetrators of the attack and those who took part in its conspiracy to the “ends of the earth” to inflict punishment on them “beyond their imagination”.
