Operation Sindoor: A Year of Peace After a Year of Torment

Families in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district reflect on the peace brought by Operation Sindoor, which targeted terror camps in Pakistan and reduced cross-border shelling. Despite a more peaceful year, the community continues to mourn loved ones lost during the military escalations and artillery fire.

The once tense border region of Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district has witnessed a significant period of peace since Operation Sindoor was executed a year ago. The operation, which targeted terror camps in Pakistan, has greatly reduced incidents of cross-border shelling, offering a reprieve to the affected families.

Despite the newfound calm, the emotional scars from past conflicts linger among the residents. Many homes still display the damage from artillery fire as a tribute to lost loved ones, encapsulating the tragic events that unfolded when tensions escalated between India and Pakistan.

The community, however, has found solace in the decreased violence and is grateful for the support from political leaders and various communities. They emphasize the unity across religious lines they experienced during difficult times, and remain steadfast in their solidarity with the nation.
