India Honours Six Heroes of Cross-Border Op

The Indian government has officially disclosed the names of six military personnel who died during Operation Sindoor, a significant cross-border operation conducted last year. This operation aimed to dismantle terror infrastructure located in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The honouring of these six fallen soldiers signifies the first formal public acknowledgment of casualties sustained by the Indian armed forces during this campaign.

These brave soldiers' names have been inscribed on the National War Memorial's Roll of Honour in New Delhi, specifically on Wall 3D within the 2025 section. Among the honoured are decorated personnel like Rifleman Sunil Kumar, Vir Chakra recipient, and Sergeant Surendra Kumar, Vayu Medal awardee, underscoring the bravery displayed. The operation involved precision strikes on terror sites linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba, leading to a halt in military action on May 10 following bilateral talks.
