**Indian Navy Poised for Action as Pakistan Begged for Ceasefire After Strikes, Says DGMO**
**NEW DELHI** – Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai revealed on Tuesday that Pakistan called for a cessation of hostilities just four days into military conflict in May 2025, after India launched precision strikes dubbed “Operation Sindoor” against terror infrastructure. The strikes were a response to the deadly April 22nd terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which claimed 26 lives.
Speaking at the United Nations Troop Contributing Countries’ (UNTCC) Chiefs’ Conclave, Lt Gen Ghai emphasized the Indian Navy’s crucial role. “The Indian Navy was also very much in action… The Navy had sailed into the Arabian Sea and when the DGMO spoke, they were very well poised.” He suggested that the consequences for Pakistan would have been “catastrophic” had they not relented.
The DGMO stated that Pakistan suffered significant casualties, with estimates exceeding 100 military personnel lost along the Line of Control (LoC). “Pakistanis possibly unwittingly let out their awards list on August 14, and the number of posthumous awards that they awarded suggests to us now that their casualties on the LoC were also in excess of 100,” Lt Gen Ghai explained.
Lt Gen Ghai highlighted a “doctrinal shift” in India’s counter-terrorism strategy, reflecting the government’s stance of decisive retaliation against terror attacks, refusing to succumb to nuclear blackmail, and holding sponsors of terrorism equally accountable.
The Indian military followed up after Operation Sindoor with “Operation Mahadev,” where three terrorists who were involved in the killing of civilians in Pahalgam were eliminated by the security forces after 96 days.
