The Border Security Force (BSF), in a big announcement on Tuesday, said the two forward post will be named after fallen heroes of Operation Sindoor. Addressing a press conference, BSF IG Shashank Aanand said the security forces lost BSF Sub Inspector Mohammad Imtiaz, Constable Deepak Kumar and Army soldier Sunil Kumar in Pakistani shelling and drone strikes. He said two posts would be named after the brave soldiers while a third would be called Sindoor. A proposal has been sent to the concerned authorities in this regard. 

The BSF IG of Jammu division also hailed women personnel who were serving at the forward posts during the hostilities between India and Pakistan.

“BSF women personnel fought at forward duty posts during Operation Sindoor. Our brave women personnel, Assistant Commandant Neha Bhandari commanded a forward post, Constable Manjeet Kaur, Constable Malkit Kaur, Constable Jyoti, Constable Sampa and Constable Swapna and others were also front in the line against Pakistan during this operation,” he said.  

Divulding the details of the operation, IG Aanand said the BSF personnel were prepared for the misadventure by Pakistan. He said the BSF had also planned to hit cross border terror launch pads. 

“When we carried out this operation on the night of May 8, the enemy's morale was low in that area. The next day, on 9 May, Pakistan started unprovoked cross-border firing on the international border in the northern areas of Jammu, away from the Samba area. The BSF was already prepared for such a situation and on 9 and 10 May, the BSF fired heavily on the Pakistani border. During this time we had planned that if we got a chance, we would also attack the terrorist launch pads located near the international border. The BSF deliberately attacked the launch pad of Lashkar-e-Taiba in the Luni area near the LoC,” he said.  

In a massive reaction after the Pahalgam attack, as many as nine terror camps were destroyed in Pakistan and PoK by the Indian armed forces in 26 precise strikes during Operation Sindoor.

These locations were key command centres of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), responsible for major attacks like Pulwama (2019) and Mumbai (2008). More than 100 terrorists were killed in the attack.

In retaliation, Pakistan attempted strikes on Indian military bases over the next three days—May 8, 9, and 10. Reacting to this, India launched ardent missile and drone attacks, targeting key military establishments of Pakistan.
