Army delayed strike during Op Sindoor at terror camps to respect namaz: General

Indian Army chief General Upendra Dwivedi revealed Operation Sindoor's strike was deliberately delayed last year. Commanders ensured the operation avoided disrupting 'namaz' prayers at a terrorist camp, choosing a time when no one was engaged in worship. This flexible timing demonstrated a unique consideration, prioritizing a specific prayer period before executing the mission.
