Amid rising speculations and media chatter, the Indian Army has officially denied claims suggesting the deployment of air defence guns within the sacred Golden Temple premises during Operation Sindoor. The clarification was issued following reports alleging that the shrine’s management had allowed such installations to counter possible aerial threats from Pakistan.
Setting the record straight, Army officials emphasized that no air defence equipment, including guns or related systems, had been positioned inside the holy complex. The forces underscored their commitment to maintaining the sanctity of religious sites while ensuring national security.
The reports had sparked concern among the public and religious circles, prompting the Army to issue a firm statement rejecting the claims. Officials assured that any operational measures were conducted with utmost respect to cultural and spiritual sensitivities, and that all activities were coordinated responsibly.
Operation Sindoor, a strategic defence initiative, has been in focus recently due to heightened concerns over cross-border threats. However, the Army’s denial highlights the importance of verifying sensitive information before it’s circulated, especially when it involves religious landmarks.
This statement aims to prevent the spread of misinformation and restore clarity on the matter, reaffirming the Army’s dedication to safeguarding the country without compromising faith-based sentiments.
