In its special issue, it also shared the photographs of the two Armymen, flanked by the now famed logo, and some figures in a box, indicating the massive traction it has garnered on different social media platforms, including X and Instagram.
The opening section of the 17-page magazine carries the logo emblazoned across the page with the emblem of the India Army graced on top.

The next page recalls the Pahalgam attack that shook the nation and drew condemnation from multiple countries, heads of state and other top leaders.
"On 22 April 2025, the nation witnessed a dastardly and brutal act of violence where five terrorists killed 26 innocent civilians in the name of religion. This incident occurred in the serene meadows of Baisaran Valley, Pahalgam, where the tourists had gone to celebrate life with fervor. This incident fortified the resolve of our country to fight terror with punitive action," reads a text captioned 'Pahalagam'.
The text is accompanied with photographs of the aftermath of the attack, rows of coffins and of the emotional farewell at a funeral of one of the victims.
The 11th page of the magazine also carries a photograph of Army Chief
Gen Upendra Dwivedi
looking at a screen grid, and mentions the timestamp -- date May 7, 2025, time 0105 hrs.
The strike was conducted on May 7 from 1.05 am to 1.30 am under Operation Sindoor and it was launched to deliver justice to the victims of the
Pahalgam terror attack
and their families, Wing Commander Vyomika Singh and Col Sofiya Qureshi told a press conference hours after the military action.
At 1.44 am that day, the government, in a statement, underlined that India has demonstrated "considerable restraint" in the selection of targets and method of execution and that "no Pakistani military facilities have been targeted".
Shortly after, the Indian Army's social media handles carried a message with a poster.
Along with the message "#PahalgamTerrorAttack Justice is Served. Jai Hind!" the Indian Army's 1.51 am X post carried the poster that was concise in words but heavy on symbolism.
The poster had 'OPERATION SINDOOR' written on it with a small bowl carrying vermilion (worn by married Hindu women) forming the first 'O' of the second word while the second 'O' had a dash of the powder around it.
Since then, the Indian Army has come up with several thematic short videos on social media platforms that have been widely shared and appreciated.
All these videos were made in-house, by the Social Media Section of the Indian Army's Additional Directorate General of Strategic Communication, sources in the military establishment said.
Prime Minister
Narendra Modi
on Sunday said that Operation Sindoor was not just a military mission, but "the face of a changing India" that reflects the country's resolve, courage, and growing strength on the global stage.
Addressing his monthly radio programme Mann Ki Baat, the Prime Minister termed Operation Sindoor as a turning point in the global fight against terror and a symbol of India's growing strength and clarity of purpose.

On 80th anniv of Flying Officer Sekhon, villagers seek repair of road leading to his village
Ludhiana: It is not a matter of pride that even as the 80th birth anniversary of Flying Officer Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon was celebrated with great fanfare Thursday, the road named after him, which connects Ludhiana to his native village, lies in a shambles. This surely doesn't befit the celebration to honour his bravery. Residents of his village, Issewal, lamented that they have long been suffering because of the poor condition of the road leading to the birthplace of the great martyr and sought that the govt undertake its repair work at the earliest. Flying Officer Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon was posthumously awarded the Param Vir Chakra, India's highest military decoration during war time, in recognition of his lone defence of Srinagar Air Base against a Pakistan Air Force air raid during the India-Pakistan war of 1971. He is the only member of the Indian Air Force to be honoured with the PVC. TOI travelled from Ludhiana to Issewal on the road named after him along the Sidhwan canal and found most stretches along its six kilometre length dotted with potholes. It is particularly bad near Birmi village and Issewal. Daljit Singh, cousin of the flying officer, said the issue of the poor condition of the road, which connects to Mullanpur Hambran road, was raised at various levels, but nothing has been done so far. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like NYC Hotel Smartphone Booking | Bookmark Now! | New York City Hotel Booking | Mill Canyon Road Click Here Undo "New colonies are coming up in the area, and so the traffic on the road has increased. The road leads to the native village of the great martyr, so it should be kept in a proper condition and be re-carpeted," Daljit, who retired from the telecom department, said. Another villager, Major Singh, said though the condition of roads in the village has improved, the one connecting Ludhiana to their village is in dire need of repair. He called upon the govt to urgently do something in this regard. Yet another villager said it doesn't look like the road leads to the native village of the only officer of the Indian Air Force who received the country's highest wartime gallantry award. He said the state govt is responsible for the upkeep of the road and should get its repair work done without further delay. Deepinder Singh Chahal (Atley Chahal), a builder whose office lies on the road, said the govt and builders need to work together and get it repaired. It is not just the residents of the area, but also those who have offices along the road who face inconvenience because of it. Meanwhile, senior Congress Leader Captain Sandeep Sandhu, who is the Halqa Dakha constituency incharge of the party, said he has raised the issue multiple times, but to no avail. He added that as the country celebrates the birth anniversary of the great martyr, the road to his native village should have been in a better condition. MLA Dakha Manpreet Singh Ayali said the road was a kuchha road, but during the SAD govt, it was widened under PMGSY. It was named Sardar Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon Marg. The MLA said they had asked the state govt to repair the road, but they were told that there were no funds. A PWD official said they will soon start the repair work.

Volunteers recover 7 bags of liquor bottles during Chamundi Hills cleanliness drive
1 2 3 Mysuru: A cleanliness drive carried out by Yuva Brigade volunteers at the Chamundi Hills on Sunday revealed that the 1,001 steps are being misused for liquor consumption during the night. The volunteers recovered around seven bags of liquor bottles from both sides of the steps. The locals urged the forest, police, and temple authorities to ensure that the steps are kept sacred and devoid of these illegal activities. The cleanliness drive started at 6.15am on Sunday, led by the state convener of the organisation, Chandrashekhar Nanjanagud. Sixty-seven volunteers participated in the drive, during which two tractors of waste, especially plastic drinking water bottles, were collected from the steps. "As the Aashada Friday celebrations concluded last week, we decided to embark on this cleanliness drive. Plastic waste is common in most of the sacred places. But liquor bottles on the steps really shocked us," he said. "We want the local police and the temple authorities to look into this issue seriously," he added. Post-cleanliness drive, Chamundi Hills gram panchayat arranged vehicles to ferry the waste collected by the volunteers. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo According to the locals, the waste menace continues to haunt even after several awareness drives by the locals, govt, and non-governmental agencies; the steps remain polluted. Ensure steps to hills are safe, clean: Local "Even though during the Aaashada (celebrations) single-use plastic was banned atop the hills, no action was taken near the steps. It resulted in a flood of waste. The temple authorities must ensure that the steps are safe and clean. Using the steps for consuming alcohol will be a shame for the entire shrine," said Lingaraju, a local resident.
