Chaudhary visited Poonch to assess the impact of the recent Pakistani shelling.

Flanked by senior police officers, the DG visited the shelling-hit Gurdwara Singh Sabha and Geeta Bhawan, and inspected the damage caused to religious places and civilian areas.

He also interacted with the BSF troops and reviewed the ground situation following Operation Sindoor.

India carried out precision strikes under Operation Sindoor on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) in the early hours of May 7 in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives.

Following the Indian action, Pakistan attempted to attack the Indian military bases on May 8, 9 and 10. The Indian forces launched a fierce counter-attack on several Pakistani military installations.

India and Pakistan reached an understanding on May 10 to end the military confrontation after four days of intense cross-border drone and missile strikes. PTI AB AS AS
