The first official details on the cross-border surgical strikes carried out by the Indian Special Forces in 2016 were gathered by the Economic Times. The army’s version tells the stories of courage of an officer who personally killed four targets in close combat, a sniper who compromised his targets, sharpshooting into a bunker and a team that inflicted heavy casualties on Pakistani soldiers. The names are being withheld by the Economic Times because of security considerations.
One well-known trait of the Indian Army was also validated by the details -- officers lead from the front and get into active combat first, leading a team of soldiers.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
