Odisha women leaders hail female forces' briefing

As the nation hailed the success of Operation Sindoor—India’s precision military response to the horrific Pahalgam terrorist attack—Odisha’s women politicians joined the chorus of praise, particularly for the historic moment when two female officers led the official media briefing.

The nation woke up to a wave of patriotic fervour as news broke of India launching precision missile strikes on nine key terror targets across Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK). The retaliatory operation came in the wake of the brutal killing of 26 Indian tourists by terrorists in Pahalgam. Among the major targets were strongholds of terror outfits like Lashkar-e-Taiba in Muridke and Jaish-e-Mohammed in Bahawalpur.
