He said he passed out NDA in 1971, just one month before the beginning of Indo-Pak war. Their batch was commissioned one month earlier so that they can be deputed at borders.”
Maj Gen Bakshi later highlighted the “Insights of Operation Sindoor” in an elaborate manner. He said ‘Operation SINDOOR’ marked one of India’s boldest military responses in recent history.
