Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis honored the Indian Army on Surgical Strike Day, commemorating the 10th anniversary of the September 28-29, 2016 operation across the Line of Control (LoC). Fadnavis praised the army's decisive action against security threats, calling it a proud chapter in India's defense history. The operation targeted terrorist launch pads in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir following the Uri attack the previous month, which killed 19 Indian Army personnel.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi also recalled the operation during his monthly radio program, Mann Ki Baat, describing it as a historic achievement showcasing India's approach to countering terrorism. The government has linked subsequent military actions, such as the Balakot strikes and Operation Sindoor, to the 2016 operation as part of an evolving strategy against cross-border terrorism.
