Why the strike was named as ‘Operation Sindoor’

This armed action was named ‘Operation Sindoor’. In the terrorists’ attack at Pahalgam, Islamic terrorists had targeted only husbands of Hindu married women and killed them thus removing their ‘Suhaga’. The air strike was, therefore, given a symbolic name as ‘Operation Sindoor (Kumkum)’.
